[bitnami/kafka] Issue with kafka sasl.client.passwords about charts

[rafariossaa]

Hi,
Could you indicate which chart version are you using ?
I tried latest version (28.1.1) with this configuration, and it worked for me:

$ cat user.yaml 
# listeners:
#   client:
#     protocol: "SASL_SSL"
#   controller:
#     protocol: "SASL_SSL"

# tls:
#   type: "PEM"
#   existingSecret: 'kafka-ssl'

metrics:
  kafka:
    enabled: true
    extraFlags: {tls.insecure-skip-tls-verify: ""}

sasl:
  interbroker:
    password: 'cae1eipoo@k6mo!6IJ1eiHie7eigh_ie'
    #password: '4FKkMbGOEe'   ## Generated automatically
  controller:
    password: 'kool2sha_0eG+aech0utah6ahj!ejoox'
    #password: 'Vl0LDaJsJ3'   ## Generated automatically
  client:
    #passwords: 's5tEH3Ub9v'   ## WORK, Generated automatically
    #passwords: 'aeg02efaQu'   ## FAIL
    passwords: 'aivng3jouSRaing2eemoR41oPh4To2ei'  ## FAIL

Thanks for your answer @rafariossaa .

I took your yaml and tried but I still have the same issue. I'm not forcing the helm chart version and it's pulling the version 28.0.4

    app.kubernetes.io/version: 3.7.0
    helm.sh/chart: kafka-28.0.4

I tried to force the version but I got this error :

$ helm install --atomic kafka oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/kafka -n kafka --create-namespace -f test  --version 28.1.1
Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/kafka:28.1.1: not found

EDIT : I've tried in a fresh namespace and it worked. So I've deleted my "kafka" one, redeployed in it and it worked too. However I retried to "helm uninstall", edit the password, install and it's failing again. So there is something that stays behind after the helm uninstall which leads to this issue. I have no pod/secret/cm in the NS after the uninstall so I'm not sure what blocks the deployment after updating the password

Thanks

Hi,
I am glad you were able to solve the issue.
Have into account that password are persisted in config files, so if you want to change it you would need to delete the corresponding PVCs.
Please, don't hesitate to reopen this issue or to open a new one if needed.
