I'm trying to set up a single kafka server with certificate authentication and access controls based on those certificates without the bother of setting up a kerberos service.

Setting upp the certificate authentication is easy. But I enable the acl module in the config try to connect with a producer and get access denied errors, OK, I grant access and now I get a "leader not available" error. Disabling the acl module makes everything work again.

Is this possible or is it a requirement to use kerberos?

I'm trying to unzip a bunch of archives including the new xlsx files into a TMP folder and then work on that folder and then remove it. And shit just doesnt want to go my way.

$spath = "C:\_PS\TestFolder"
$destination=”C:\TestFolder\Testzip"

Get-ChildItem $spath -include *.xlsx -Recurse  | foreach-object  {
    # Remove existing TMP folder and create a new one
    Remove-Item -Recurse -Force $destination
    New-Item $destination -type directory

    $archiveFile = $_.fullname | out-string -stream

    "Extract this: " + $archiveFile
    "To here: " + $destination

    $shellApplication = new-object -com shell.application
    $zipPackage = $shellApplication.NameSpace($archiveFile)
    $destinationFolder = $shellApplication.NameSpace($destination)
    $destinationFolder.CopyHere($zipPackage.Items())

}

And it always gives me these errors

I have set up a few NLB clusters without problems, so far they have been administered with the administrator user.

Now I have created a few users who are identical on both members of the cluster, all with administrative rights. When the users try to start the NLB manager they get Access denied when the manager tries to the other member. This works perfectly with the Administrator account.
