SASL authentication to Kafka

[openrory]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I may be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to find out how to make a SASL connection to a Kafka Event Source.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have SASL authentication to a Kafka Event Source and Event Trigger, besides a TLS connection. In particular, I am using SASL_SSL and Plain text as SASL mechanism.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I am not a TLS expert, so I am not aware of a TLS-type solution to authenticate via SASL.

Additional context
Not applicable.

Fantastic, thanks for the quick reply! Let me know if I can be of any help, say, during testing.

@VaibhavPage Looks like this may have fallen off your radar.

My team uses a hosted Kafka service for our production deployments and we have no means of changing the authentication strategy. Can you provide an update for when we can expect Kafka SASL_SSL/SASL_PLAINTEXT auth to be supported? Thank you!

I can take a look at filing a PR for this since we also need SASL Authentication.

Updates, had a two week hiatus unfortunately. Got Kafka working on my local development machine. Will file the PR as soon as I can.
