Configuring SASL
==========================

Many of the concepts applied here :ref:`come from the Kafka Security documentation<kafka_sasl>`. Reading though and understanding
that documentation will be useful in configuring the Control Center for SASL. 

The following assumes that this is only a development setup and generically followed the 
:ref:`Control Center quickstart guide<controlcenterquickstart>`. While the specifics are for development purposes only,
securing a production cluster follows the same concepts.

ZooKeeper 
^^^^^^^^^

For the purposes here, ZooKeeper will not be secured. This guide is targetted to securing the immediately dependent 
pieces of the Control Center. If you would like to secure ZooKeeper as well, you can
:ref:`check out the documentation<kafka_zookeeper_authentication>`

To start zookeeper:

.. sourcecode:: bash

  $ ./bin/zookeeper-server-start ./etc/kafka/zookeeper.properties
