IAM access control

[davidbarratt]

Does racecar support IAM access control?

I believe for it to support this, it would need to support a sasl_mechanism of AWS_MSK_IAM, is there anything beyond allowing this value that woul need to be done?

No and will not. Racecar is librdkafka based and here's the author stand: confluentinc/confluent-kafka-python#1320 (comment)

AWS IAM is a non-standard proprietary authentication scheme that is not part of Apache Kafka and thus not supported by Apache Kafka clients. You will need to contact your provider for support.

until this becomes part of librdkafka, getting it to racecar may be hard.

SASL/OAUTHBEARER is already supported in librdkafka
Will you reconsider supporting it?

Thanks!
