Description

The sasl.jaas.config typically includes equals in its value. Unfortunately the kafka-configs tool does not parse such values correctly and hits an error:

./kafka-configs.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --entity-type brokers --entity-name 59 --alter --add-config "sasl.jaas.config=KafkaServer {\n  org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required\n  username=\"myuser\"\n  password=\"mypassword\";\n};\nClient {\n  org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestLoginModule required\n  username=\"myuser2\"\n  password=\"mypassword2\;\n};"
requirement failed: Invalid entity config: all configs to be added must be in the format "key=val"
