How to use TLS authentication with entity operator?

[ksa75]

Since I enable authentication on ingress listener my new topics/users never get ready with warning in log:

kc -n kafka logs cluster0-entity-operator-6594568847-l6dv7
..
WARN [vertx-blocked-thread-checker] BlockedThreadChecker: - Thread Thread[blocking-startup-ops-0,5,main] has been blocked for 60122 ms, time limit is 60000 ms
io.vertx.core.VertxException: Thread blocked

So I have to rollback to get it working
My cluster (breaking changes are commented):

    1 apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta2
   2 kind: Kafka
   3 metadata:
   4   name: cluster0
   5 spec:
   6   kafka:
   7     version: 3.2.1
   8     replicas: 3
   9     authorization:
  10       type: simple
  11       superUsers:
  12       - CN=superuser
  13     listeners:
  14       - name: tls
  15         port: 9093
  16         type: internal
  17         tls: true
  18         authentication:
  19           type: tls
  20       - name: external
  21         port: 9094
  22         type: ingress
  23         # authentication:
  24           # type: tls
  25         tls: true
  26         configuration:
  27           bootstrap:
..

What Ive missing? Should I prepare entity operator somehow for enabling authentication on ingress listener

The Entity Operator does not use any of the listeners you configure and does not care about what kind of authentication you use there.

Thanks. It had nothing with ingress. Just a matter of time. topics/users got ready eventually
