Securing communications to Kafka
IBM Business Automation Insights relies on messages that are sent and received through Kafka topics. Communications to Kafka are secured through the IBM Automation foundation environment.
About this task
IBM Business Automation Insights messages are produced by event emitters. Flink jobs also consume and process these messages. For all these messages, IBM Business Automation Insights supports SSL encryption of the communications to Kafka, and supports authentication through a username and password. The connection settings are automatically retrieved from the IBM Automation foundation environment.
