  • 1.  In IBM Event Streams SaaS on Cloud, where can I look for failing client connection attempts?

    Posted Wed August 03, 2022 01:46 AM
    I am trying to configure a Kafka client (it happens to be a DataPower appliance running V10) to my IBM Event Streams SaaS instance in IBM Cloud. But the Kafka client keeps throwing an error

    Thanks Jena,

    this got resolved. followed this steps from IBM doc:
    Procedure
    1. Generate the truststore, keystore, private key, and CA certificate.
      Note: Replace PASSWORD, VALIDITY, SERVER_ALIAS and CLIENT_ALIAS in the following commands with appropriate values.
      1. Generate Server keystore.
        Note:

        The common name (CN) of the broker certificates must match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server/host. The Kafka Consumer client that is used by QRadar compares the CN with the DNS domain name to ensure that it is connecting to the correct broker instead of a malicious one. Make sure to enter the FQDN for the CN/First and Last name value when you generate the Server keystore.

        keytool -keystore kafka.server.keystore.jks -alias SERVER_ALIAS
         -validity VALIDITY -genkey
