Kafka fails to start if SSL is enabled

Troubleshooting


Problem

Kafka fails to start if SSL is enabled for the Kafka service. In addition, the ACL properties are not written to Kafka's configuration file, server.properties. Those problems only occur when Kafka is not configured to use Kerberos authentication.

Symptom

After enabling SSL and restarting Kafka from Ambari, the Kafka service is shown as stopped. The Kafka log under /var/log/kafka/kafka.out shows the following exception:


[2016-06-27 11:52:39,277] FATAL (kafka.Kafka$)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: security.inter.broker.protocol must be a protocol in the configured set of advertised.listeners. The valid options based on currently configured protocols are Set(SSL)
