Internal or LDAP authentication

When the cluster has internal or LDAP authentication enabled, you should configure the username and password settings for the Kafka Connector.

When the cluster has internal or LDAP authentication enabled, configure the user name and password settings for DataStax Apache Kafka™ Connector. A login role for the connector with access to the mapped tables is also required.
