Librdkafka | Error: Invalid value "sasl_ssl" for configuration property "security.protocol"

Question

I'm new to kafka, trying to explore it on my mac Catalina. I've gone through documentation and few forum but no luck in running it.

I followed the below steps:

1. Installed openssl@1.1 with brew.

2. echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

3. export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"

4. export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"

5. Then installed librdkafka.

6. Made a producer service and I'm unable to run it.

It keeps throwing me the

Error: Invalid value "sasl_ssl" for configuration property "security.protocol".

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
