Creating a SASL_SSL User

DMS supports ACL permission management for topics. You can differentiate the operations that different users are allowed to perform on a topic by granting the users different permissions.

This section describes how to create a SASL_SSL user after SASL_SSL is enabled for a Kafka instance. For details about how to grant user permissions, see Granting Permissions to a SASL_SSL User.

Prerequisites

SASL_SSL has been enabled when you create the Kafka instance.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner to select a region.

    Select the region where your Kafka instance is located.

  3. Click Service List and choose Application > Distributed Message Service. The Kafka instance list is displayed.
  4. Click the desired Kafka instance to view the instance details.
  5. On the Users tab page, click Create User.
  6. In the displayed Create User dialog box, set the username and password, and click OK.

    After the SASL_SSL user is created, grant permissions to the user by referring to Granting Permissions to a SASL_SSL User.
