I use ssl keystores for Jetty 9 and Kafka. I need to provide keystore and key passwords to access the keystore and private key. However, I don't want to provide these passwords in clear text in the configuration files. What other options are there to securely provide/encrypt the passwords? what is the pros and cons of each approach?

Since Kafka 2.0.0, all password configs can be preloaded in zookeeper before you start brokers. The kafka-configs.sh tool can be used to store passwords in an encrypted format in Zookeeper avoiding the need to specify them in plaintext in the properties file.
See the Updating Broker Configs section in the Kafka docs, especially the "Updating Password Configs in ZooKeeper Before Starting Brokers" paragraph.

It's the name of the listeners you have set inlisteners. For example, if you havelisteners=PLAINTEXT://:9092thenPLAINTEXTis a listener name

Yes. It is mandatory to add password encoder in server.properties,
otherwise server can not decode password.
It works for me when I add password.encoder.secret to server.properties.
