Build Status Docker Hub Docker Pulls

The Kafka Proxy is based on idea of Cloud SQL Proxy. It allows a service to connect to Kafka brokers without having to deal with SASL/PLAIN authentication and SSL certificates.

It works by opening tcp sockets on the local machine and proxying connections to the associated Kafka brokers when the sockets are used. The host and port in Metadata and FindCoordinator responses received from the brokers are replaced by local counterparts. For discovered brokers (not configured as the boostrap servers), local listeners are started on random ports. The dynamic local listeners feature can be disabled and an additional list of external server mappings can be provided.

The Proxy can terminate TLS traffic and authenticate users using SASL/PLAIN. The credentials verification method is configurable and uses golang plugin system over RPC.

The proxies can also authenticate each other using a pluggable method which is transparent to other Kafka servers and clients. Currently, the Google ID Token for service accounts is implemented i.e. proxy client requests and sends service account JWT and proxy server receives and validates it against Google JWKS.

Kafka API calls can be restricted to prevent some operations e.g. topic deletion or produce requests.

See:

Supported Kafka versions

Following table provides overview of supported Kafka versions (specified one and all previous Kafka versions). As not every Kafka release adds new messages/versions which are relevant to the Kafka proxy, newer Kafka versions can also work.

Kafka proxy version Kafka version
from 0.11.0
0.2.9 to 2.8.0
0.3.1 to 3.4.0

Install binary release

  1. Download the latest release

    Linux

Docker images

Docker images are available on Docker Hub.

You can launch a kafka-proxy container for trying it out with

docker run --rm -p 30001-30003:30001-30003 grepplabs/kafka-proxy:0.3.7 \
          server \
        --bootstrap-server-mapping "localhost:19092,0.0.0.0:30001" \
        --bootstrap-server-mapping "localhost:29092,0.0.0.0:30002" \
        --bootstrap-server-mapping "localhost:39092,0.0.0.0:30003" \
        --dial-address-mapping "localhost:19092,172.17.0.1:19092" \
        --dial-address-mapping "localhost:29092,172.17.0.1:29092" \
        --dial-address-mapping "localhost:39092,172.17.0.1:39092" \
        --debug-enable

Kafka-proxy will now be reachable on localhost:30001, localhost:30002 and localhost:30003, connecting to kafka brokers running in docker (network bridge gateway 172.17.0.1) advertising PLAINTEXT listeners on localhost:19092, localhost:29092 and localhost:39092.

Docker images with precompiled plugins

Docker images with precompiled plugins located in /opt/kafka-proxy/bin/ are tagged with <release>-all.

You can launch a kafka-proxy container with auth-ldap plugin for trying it out with

docker run --rm -p 30001-30003:30001-30003 grepplabs/kafka-proxy:0.3.7-all \

                       --forward-proxy http://my-proxy-user:my-proxy-password@localhost:3128

Validating client certificate DN

Sometimes it might be necessary to not only validate that the client certificate is valid but also that the client certificate DN is issued for a concrete use case. This can be achieved using the following set of arguments:

--proxy-listener-tls-client-cert-validate-subject bool                        Whether to validate client certificate subject (default false)
--proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-common-name string               Required client certificate subject common name
--proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-country stringArray              Required client certificate subject country
--proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-province stringArray             Required client certificate subject province
--proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-locality stringArray             Required client certificate subject locality
--proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-organization stringArray         Required client certificate subject organization
--proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-organizational-unit stringArray  Required client certificate subject organizational unit

By setting --proxy-listener-tls-client-cert-validate-subject true, Kafka Proxy will inspect client certificate DN fields for the expected values set with the --proxy-listener-tls-required-client-* arguments. The matches are always exact and used together, fo all non empty values. For example, to allow a valid certificate for country=DE and organization=grepplabs, configure Kafka Proxy in the following way:

    kafka-proxy server \
      --proxy-listener-tls-client-cert-validate-subject true \
      --proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-country DE \
      --proxy-listener-tls-required-client-subject-organization grepplabs
