Description
I accidentally forgot to set `security.protocol` to SSL when connecting to an SSL port, so connected via PLAINTEXT. I expected the Kafka client to fail immediately with a message about mismatched security protocols, but instead it failed saying that the topic does not exist and auto-creation was not enabled.
This error message is very misleading and leads developers to think that the problem is the server configuration, not the client network security settings.
