Description

We use Ranger plugin to admin acls of Kafka cluster. At first , everything is ok, but after 10h+ of kafka start, there is something wrong occured, we can see error log in kafka-root.log, the error log is `Authentication failed during authentication due to xxx with SASL mechanism GSSAPI: GSS context targ name protocol error: xxxxx `。To solve this we had to restart Kafka, It's so strange that if i change `authorizer.class.name` to `kafka.security.auth.SimpleAclAuthorizer` it will be ok . In theory, ranger is related with acls and not related with SASL authentication，so i want to ask for help.
