This page provides examples for defining a connection to Kafka Connect Clusters.
The URLs (workers) should always have a scheme defined (http:// or https://).
This example uses an optional AES-256 key. The key decodes values encoded with AES-256 to enable passing encrypted values to connectors. It is only needed if your cluster uses AES-256 Decryption plugin.
For Basic Authentication, define username and password properties.
A custom truststore is needed when the Kafka Connect workers are served over TLS (encryption-in-transit) and their certificates are not signed by a trusted CA.
A custom truststore might be necessary too (see above).
