Connector Improvement: Azure Event Hub Oauth 2.0 Support

Answered
Nathanial Gainer User

Recently, we have been working with a vendor to consume data from their hosted Azure Event Hub. They currently do not support shared access policies.

This is requiring us to develop a custom python application to leverage Kafka Connect to setup the ingestion pipeline.

It would be helpful to provide support for Oauth 2.0 support as an alternative security setup option.

Edited feedback from our vendor:

This is due to security regulations existing within < the vendor> that specifically requires the use of OAuth / Role based access control (RBAC) via Service Principals for such endpoints. 

The RootManageSharedAccessKey (primary key) that you are requesting provides root level access to the Event Hub namespace and comes with it change access credentials of other customers endpoints in the same namespace. 

Access via OAuth / RBAC is currently the only option we have.

    The USE case for this connector is to retrieve fault code and telemetry data from our OEM providers that are tracking this information within the service bus and ECM modules installed on all equipment.
