i have created a stackoverflow  query [here|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58299827/kafka-stream-topicauthorizationexception-not-authorized-to-access-topics-for]

 

I am trying to deploy my Kafka streams application in a docker container and it fails while trying to create an internal state store with a TopicAuthorizationException.It works well locally. The main difference between locally and on the server is that there it connects to a server deployed Kafka and authenticates using the usual Kerberos auth.I fail to understand the link between authentication and the local stores.

My stream looks like that:

StreamsBuilder builder = new StreamsBuilder();

        //We stream from the source topic
        KStream<String, EnrichedMessagePayload> sourceMessagesStream = builder.stream(sourceTopic, Consumed
                .with(Serdes.serdeFrom(String.class), INPUT_SERDE));

        //We group per room and window
        TimeWindowedKStream<String, EnrichedMessagePayload> windowed = sourceMessagesStream
                .groupByKey().windowedBy(TimeWindows.of(Duration.ofMillis(windowSize)).grace(Duration.ZERO));

        //We make them a list
        KStream<Windowed<String>, WindowedMessages> grouped = windowed
                .aggregate(WindowedMessages::new,
                        (key, value, aggregate) -> aggregate.add(value),
                        Materialized.with(Serdes.String(), Serdes.serdeFrom(windowSerializer, windowSerializer)))
                .suppress(Suppressed.untilWindowCloses(unbounded()))
                .toStream();

        //Filter
        KStream<Windowed<String>, FilterResult> filtered = grouped
                .mapValues((readOnlyKey, value) -> filterWindow(value.getMessages()));

        //Re map to its original form
        KStream<String, OutputPayload> reduced = filtered
                .flatMap((KeyValueMapper<Windowed<String>, WindowedMessages, Iterable<KeyValue<String, OutputPayload>>>) (key, value) -> value
                        .getMessages()
                        .stream().map(payload -> new KeyValue<>(key.key(), payload))
                        .collect(toList()));


        //Target topic
        reduced.to(sinkTopic, Produced
                .with(Serdes.serdeFrom(String.class), SERDE));

        return builder.build();

It receives a stream of messages, windows it, aggregates all the messages per window, keeps only the last version of the list with a 'Suppressed' and then flatMaps the whole to forward it to another topic.

Every time i get that kind of exception:
