Public Network Access Through SASL_SSL

Last updated: 2024-01-09 15:00:32

    Overview

    This document describes how to access CKafka to send/receive messages with the SDK for Java through SASL_SSL on the public network.
    An SSL certificate is mainly used to protect server-client communication. Once data is encrypted by the SSL certificate, it cannot be accessed via a private key but by the server.

    Prerequisites

    You have installed JDK 1.8 or later as instructed in Java Downloads.
    You have installed Maven 2.5 or later as instructed in Downloading Apache Maven 3.8.6.
    You have configured an ACL policy as instructed in Configuring ACL Policy.
    You have downloaded the demo from GitHub.
    You have downloaded the SASL_SSL certificate here.

    Directions

    Step 1. Create resources in the console

    1. Create an access point.
    1.1 On the Instance List page in the CKafka console, click the target instance ID to enter the instance details page.
    1.2 In Basic Info > Access Mode, click Add a routing policy. In the pop-up window, select Route Type: Public domain name access and Access Mode: SASL_SSL.
    
    
    
    2. Create a role.
    On the User Management tab, create a role and set the password.
    
    
    
    3. Create a topic.
    Create a topic on the Topic Management tab as instructed in Creating Topic.

    Step 2. Add the configuration file

    1. Add the following dependencies to the pom.xml file:
    <dependencies>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
    <artifactId>kafka-clients</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.7.5</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
    <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
    <version>1.6.4</version>
    </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    
    2. Create a JAAS configuration file named ckafka_client_jaas.conf and modify it with the user created on the User Management tab page.
    KafkaClient {
    org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required
    username="yourinstance#yourusername"
    password="yourpassword";
    };
    
    Note:
    Set username to a value in the format of instance ID + # + configured username, and password to a configured password.
    3. Create a CKafka configuration file named kafka.properties.
    ## Configure the accessed network by copying the information in the **Network** column in the **Access Mode** section on the instance details page in the console
    bootstrap.servers=ckafka-xxxxxxx
    ## Configure the topic by copying the information on the **Topic Management** page in the console
    topic=XXX
    ## Configure the consumer group as needed
    group.id=XXX
    ## SASL configuration
    java.security.auth.login.config.plain=/xxxx/ckafka_client_jaas.conf
    ## SSL certificate configuration, which takes effect when the access mode is specified as SASL_SSL
    ssl.truststore.location=/xxxx/client.truststore.jks
    ssl.truststore.password=5fi6R!M
    ssl.endpoint.identification.algorithm=
    
    Parameter
    Description
    bootstrap.servers
    Accessed network, which can be copied in the Network column in the Access Mode section on the instance details page in the console.
    
    
    
    topic
    Topic name, which can be copied from the Topic Management page in the console.
    
    
    
    group.id
    You can customize it. After the demo runs successfully, you can see the consumer on the Consumer Group page.
    java.security.auth.login.config.plain
    Enter the path of the JAAS configuration file ckafka_client_jaas.conf.
    client.truststore.jks
    The required certificate path when SASL_SSL is used for access.
    4. Create a configuration file loading program named `CKafkaConfigurer.java`.
    public class CKafkaConfigurer {
    private static Properties properties;
    public static void configureSaslPlain() {
    // If you have used the `-D` parameter or another method to set the path, do not set it again here
    if (null == System.getProperty("java.security.auth.login.config")) {
    // Replace `XXX` with your own path
    System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config",
    getCKafkaProperties().getProperty("java.security.auth.login.config.plain"));
    }
    }
    public synchronized static Properties getCKafkaProperties() {
    if (null != properties) {
    return properties;
    }
    // Get the content of the configuration file `kafka.properties`.
    Properties kafkaProperties = new Properties();
    try {
    kafkaProperties.load(CKafkaProducerDemo.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("kafka.properties"));
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("getCKafkaProperties error");
    }
    properties = kafkaProperties;
    return kafkaProperties;
    }
    }
    

    Step 3. Send messages

    1. Create a message sending program named KafkaSaslProducerDemo.java.
    public class KafkaSaslProducerDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Set the path of the JAAS configuration file.
    CKafkaConfigurer.configureSaslPlain();
    // Load `kafka.properties`.
    Properties kafkaProperties = CKafkaConfigurer.getCKafkaProperties();
    Properties props = new Properties();
    // Set the access point. Get the access point of the corresponding topic in the console.
    props.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG,
    kafkaProperties.getProperty("bootstrap.servers"));
    //
    // Use SASL_SSL for public network access.
    //
    // Set the access protocol.
    props.put(CommonClientConfigs.SECURITY_PROTOCOL_CONFIG, "SASL_SSL");
    // Use Plain mode for SASL.
    props.put(SaslConfigs.SASL_MECHANISM, "PLAIN");
    // Set SSL encryption.
    props.put(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION_CONFIG, kafkaProperties.getProperty(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION_CONFIG));
    props.put(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD_CONFIG, kafkaProperties.getProperty(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD_CONFIG));
    props.put(SslConfigs.SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM_CONFIG,kafkaProperties.getProperty(SslConfigs.SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM_CONFIG));
    // Set the method for serializing Kafka messages.
    props.put(ProducerConfig.KEY_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
    "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    props.put(ProducerConfig.VALUE_SERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
    "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringSerializer");
    // Set the maximum request wait time.
    props.put(ProducerConfig.MAX_BLOCK_MS_CONFIG, 30 * 1000);
    // Set the number of retries for the client
    props.put(ProducerConfig.RETRIES_CONFIG, 5);
    // Set the internal retry interval for the client.
    props.put(ProducerConfig.RECONNECT_BACKOFF_MS_CONFIG, 3000);
    // If `ack` is 0, the producer will not wait for acknowledgment from the broker, and the retry configuration will not take effect. Note that if traffic throttling is triggered, the connection will be closed.
    // If `ack` is 1, the broker leader will directly return `ack` without waiting for acknowledgment from all broker followers.
    // If `ack` is `all`, the broker leader will return `ack` only after receiving acknowledgment from all broker followers.
    props.put(ProducerConfig.ACKS_CONFIG, "all");
    // Construct a producer object. Note: A producer object is thread-safe, and generally one Producer object is sufficient for a process.
    KafkaProducer<String, String> producer = new KafkaProducer<>(props);
    // Construct a CKafka message.
    String topic = kafkaProperties.getProperty("topic"); // Topic of the message. Enter the topic you created in the console
    String value = "this is ckafka msg value"; // Message content
    try {
    // Batch getting future objects can speed up the process. Note that the batch size should not be too large.
    List<Future<RecordMetadata>> futures = new ArrayList<>(128);
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    // Send the message and get a future object.
    ProducerRecord<String, String> kafkaMessage = new ProducerRecord<>(topic,
    value + ": " + i);
    Future<RecordMetadata> metadataFuture = producer.send(kafkaMessage);
    futures.add(metadataFuture);
    }
    producer.flush();
    for (Future<RecordMetadata> future : futures) {
    // Sync the future object obtained.
    RecordMetadata recordMetadata = future.get();
    System.out.println("Produce ok:" + recordMetadata.toString());
    }
    } catch (Exception e) {
    // If the sending still fails after client internal retries, the system needs to report and handle the error.
    System.out.println("error occurred");
    }
    }
    }
    
    2. Compile and run KafkaSaslProducerDemo.java to send the message.
    3. View the execution result (output).
    Produce ok:ckafka-topic-demo-0@198
    Produce ok:ckafka-topic-demo-0@199
    4. On the Topic Management tab on the instance details page in the CKafka console, select the target topic and click More > Message Query to view the message just sent.
    
    
    

    Step 4. Consume the message

    1. Create a program named KafkaSaslConsumerDemo.java for a consumer to subscribe to messages.
    public class KafkaSaslConsumerDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Set the path of the JAAS configuration file.
    CKafkaConfigurer.configureSaslPlain();
    // Load `kafka.properties`.
    Properties kafkaProperties = CKafkaConfigurer.getCKafkaProperties();
    Properties props = new Properties();
    // Set the access point. Get the access point of the corresponding topic in the console.
    props.put(ProducerConfig.BOOTSTRAP_SERVERS_CONFIG,
    kafkaProperties.getProperty("bootstrap.servers"));
    //
    // Use SASL_SSL for public network access.
    //
    // Set the access protocol.
    props.put(CommonClientConfigs.SECURITY_PROTOCOL_CONFIG, "SASL_SSL");
    // Use Plain mode for SASL.
    props.put(SaslConfigs.SASL_MECHANISM, "PLAIN");
    // Set SSL encryption.
    props.put(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION_CONFIG, kafkaProperties.getProperty(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_LOCATION_CONFIG));
    props.put(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD_CONFIG, kafkaProperties.getProperty(SslConfigs.SSL_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD_CONFIG));
    props.put(SslConfigs.SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM_CONFIG,kafkaProperties.getProperty(SslConfigs.SSL_ENDPOINT_IDENTIFICATION_ALGORITHM_CONFIG));
    // Set the consumer timeout period.
    // If the consumer does not return a heartbeat message within the interval, the broker will determine that the consumer is not alive, and then remove the consumer from the consumer group and trigger rebalancing. The default value is 30s.
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS_CONFIG, 30000);
    // Set the maximum time interval between two polls.
    // Before v0.10.1.0, these two concepts were mixed and both represented by `session.timeout.ms`.
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.MAX_POLL_INTERVAL_MS_CONFIG, 30000);
    // Set the maximum number of messages that can be polled at a time.
    // Do not set this parameter to an excessively large value. If polled messages are not all consumed before the next poll starts, load balancing is triggered and lagging occurs.
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.MAX_POLL_RECORDS_CONFIG, 30);
    // Set the method for deserializing messages.
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.KEY_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
    "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.VALUE_DESERIALIZER_CLASS_CONFIG,
    "org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.StringDeserializer");
    // Set the consumer group of the current consumer instance after you apply for one in the console.
    // The instances in the same consumer group consume messages in load balancing mode.
    props.put(ConsumerConfig.GROUP_ID_CONFIG, kafkaProperties.getProperty("group.id"));
    // Construct a consumer object. This generates a consumer instance.
    KafkaConsumer<String, String> consumer = new KafkaConsumer<String, String>(props);
    // Set one or more topics to which the consumer group subscribes.
    // We recommend you configure consumer instances with the same `GROUP_ID_CONFIG` value to subscribe to the same topics.
    List<String> subscribedTopics = new ArrayList<String>();
    // If you want to subscribe to multiple topics, add the topics here.
    // You must create the topics in the console in advance.
    String topicStr = kafkaProperties.getProperty("topic");
    String[] topics = topicStr.split(",");
    for (String topic : topics) {
    subscribedTopics.add(topic.trim());
    }
    consumer.subscribe(subscribedTopics);
    // Consume messages in loop.
    while (true) {
    try {
    ConsumerRecords<String, String> records = consumer.poll(1000);
    // All messages must be consumed before the next poll, and the total duration cannot exceed the timeout interval specified by `SESSION_TIMEOUT_MS_CONFIG`.
    for (ConsumerRecord<String, String> record : records) {
    System.out.println(
    String.format("Consume partition:%d offset:%d", record.partition(),
    record.offset()));
    }
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println("consumer error!");
    }
    }
    }
    }
    
    2. Compile and run KafkaSaslConsumerDemo.java to consume the message.
    3. View the execution result.
    Consume partition:0 offset:298
    Consume partition:0 offset:299
    4. On the Consumer Group tab in the CKafka console, select the corresponding consumer group, enter the topic name, and click View Details to view the consumption details.
