Description
Currently, Storm only supports SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) and Kerberos for authentication. However, a more modern and increasingly popular method is mTLS (Mutual Transport Layer Security).
mTLS leverages SSL/TLS certificates for authentication and encryption, ensuring that both the client and server can verify each other's identities. This dual verification process provides an additional security layer compared to traditional methods.
For organizations already using trusted certificates within their infrastructure, integrating mTLS can be more straightforward. It allows them to use the existing certificate management systems, reducing the need for separate authentication setups.
In cloud environments, mTLS is often the preferred choice for securing communications. By addressing both encryption and authentication in a single solution, mTLS simplifies the configuration process while enhancing overall security.
