Specifies the SSL server certificate or certificate store used to verify the identity of the Apache Kafka broker.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The value for this property must match the format described by SSLServerCertType. This determines whether the certificate is supplied as a file path, a base64-encoded blob, or a reference to a system certificate store.

The server certificate is used to confirm that the broker’s SSL certificate is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). If the provided certificate does not match the server’s certificate chain, the SSL connection will be rejected.
