[feature] Support for kafka consumer through SASL/OAUTHBEARER
Author: mmalhadoCreated Jul 22, 2025Updated Sep 27, 2025
According to the Centrifugo documentation, the following authentication mechanisms are currently supported for server API kafka consumers: "plain", "scram-sha-256", "scram-sha-512", "aws-msk-iam"
Should I assume that SASL/OAUTHBEARER authentication is not supported?
If that is the case, are there plans to get support for this authentication method?
In my particular scenario, I'm working in setting up centrifugo to connect to a GCP managed kafka instance, which recommends OAUTHBEARER : https://cloud.google.com/managed-service-for-apache-kafka/docs/authentication-kafka
