    You'll find it in the Services overview section of your Aiven account.

To complete the SASL authentication information:

  1. Make sure that SASL is enabled in the Advanced Configuration section.

  2. Copy the user and password from the Connection information section.

To configure the SSL/TLS encryption section:

  1. You must provide a CA Certificate file (zip, pem or cart) containing the Certification Authority certificate.
