I use Confluent Kafka REST Proxy to send messages to Apache Kafka. I set up basic authentication on the REST Proxy and whenever I submit a HTTP request to the proxy, I get the 403 HTTP Error !role.
The proxy requires Zookeeper, Kafka and Schema Registry to be running. I didn't configure any security on these services.
Without authentication, the proxy works and delivers messages to Kafka successfully. How to I troubleshoot this problem? I spent multiple hours on that problem and I still can't fix it.
