Help in Configuring Kafka on my local Mac

Hi Community,
I am accessing events from the enterorise Kafka topics via Windows command line via keytab successfully. However, I have transitioned to macbook this week and the same set of commands are not working in Mac. Any documentation on how to connect to kafka topic via macbook and using keytab file?

In windows, I first use the below environment variables for setup and then proceed with Kafka consuming

0) Specify where jaas.conf file is located. Need to set an environment variable.

KAFKA_OPTS= -Djava.security.auth.login.config=C:\myfolder\Kafka_Configs\jaas.conf

KAFKA_REALM= -Djava.security.krb5.conf=krb5.conf

1) Authenticate app id to Kerberos with ticket cached on server

kinit -kt C:\myfolder\Kafka_Configs\keytab_file.keytab your_kerberos_principal_name@domain.COM<mailto:your_kerberos_principal_name@domain.COM>

2) Listen to a message on a topic

<path>/kafka-console-consumer.<sh/bat> --bootstrap-server <server1:6668, server2:6668, etc> --topic test --from-beginning --consumer.config C:\myfolder\Kafka_Configs\consumer.config



Thanks,

Santohsh
