This will set the client property to null. You can avoid this by unchecking the 'Validate SSL endpoint hostname' checkbox in the 'Broker security' section. If the SAN(s) in your server certificate do not match the actual hostname of the brokers you are connecting to, you will receive an SSL error (No subject alternative DNS name matching xxx found) To enter the password for this truststore. Issued by a public CA, you need to point to a local truststore that contains the self signed root certificate that signed your brokers certificate.

Unless your Kafka brokers are using a server certificate If your Kafka cluster is configured to use SSL you may need to set various SSL configuration parameters. This property can be entered in the 'SASL Mechanism' text field under the 'Advanced' section. If you are using SASL Plaintext you typically must change the chanism client property to PLAIN. If you do not pass the JAAS config file at the startup of Offset Explorer, you must specify it under the JAAS Config tab for each connection. /Applications/Offset Explorer.app/Contents/java/appīefore that, you must configure the provided client_nf file to match your Kafka cluster configuration.On MacOS you need to start Offset Explorer using offsetexplorer.sh located in the following folder On Linux you need to start Offset Explorer as follows offsetexplorer.exe .config=c:/client_nf.On Windows you need to start Offset Explorer as follows The exact contents of the JAAS file depend on the configuration of your cluster, please refer to the Kafka documentation. If your cluster is configured for SASL (plaintext or SSL) you must either specify the JAAS config in the UI or pass in your JAAS config file to Offset Explorer when you start it. To test that your connection is working properly or Add to add the server connection without testing it first. If your cluster is configured for plaintext security (typically in test environments only) you do not need to configure any additional security attributes. Notice that if you do not provide the Zookeeper host/port values, some features in Offset Explorer may not be available. This can happen if you have configured support for multiple protocols in your cluster. The correct broker hosts/ports cannot be determined from the data in the Zookeeper.

In this case you need to leave the Zookeeper host/port fields blank.
