> KIP-768: Extend support for opaque (i.e. non-JWT) tokens in SASL/OAUTHBEARER
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-15878
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-15878
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients
> Reporter: Anuj Sharma

> Priority: Major

> h1. Overview
> * This issue pertains to
> [SASL/OAUTHBEARER|https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security_sasl_oauthbearer]
> mechanism of Kafka authentication.
> * Kafka clients can use [SASL/OAUTHBEARER
> |https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security_sasl_oauthbearer]mechanism
> by overriding the [custom call back
> handlers|https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security_sasl_oauthbearer_prod]
> .

> [KIP-768|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=186877575]
> available from v3.1 further extends the mechanism with a production grade
> implementation.
> * Kafka's
> [SASL/OAUTHBEARER|https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#security_sasl_oauthbearer]
> mechanism currently {*}rejects the non-JWT (i.e. opaque) tokens{*}. This is
> because of a more restrictive set of characters than what
> [RFC-6750|https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6750#section-2.1]
> recommends.
> * This JIRA can be considered an extension of
> [KIP-768|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=186877575]
> to support the opaque tokens as well apart from the JWT tokens.
>
> In summary the following character set should be supported as per the RFC -
> {code:java}
> 1*( ALPHA / DIGIT /
> "-" / "." / "_" / "~" / "+" / "/" ) *"="
> {code}
