Integrate Confluent Cloud

Confluent Cloud is a fully managed, cloud-native event streaming platform powered by Apache Kafka. See https://www.confluent.io/. You can configure your Confluent Cloud account for Single Sign-On (SSO) through Identity as a Service.

Note: This guide was tested using previous versions of Identity as a Service 5.34 and Confluent Cloud Trial version 7.2. Other versions of Confluent Cloud may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For newer versions of Confluent Cloud, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Confluent Cloud. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.

Before you begin, open two browser windows. In one window, log in to your Confluent Cloud administrator account. In the other window, log in to your IDaaS administrator account.

To integrate Confluent Cloud with Identity as a Service, you must do the following:

Step 1: Copy the Assertion consumer URL and the Entity ID from Confluent Cloud

Step 2: Add Confluent Cloud to Identity as a Service

Step 3: Create a resource rule to protect access to Confluent Cloud

Step 4: Download the metadata from Identity as a Service

Step 5: Add the IDaaS metadata to Confluent Cloud

Step 6: Test the integration
