any way to avoid the ca_location flag?

You need to provide this settings in order to enable the kafka client to verify the broker keys. This is necessary to ensure you indeed connect to the IBM Event Streams brokers.

You should NOT try to disable this security feature but instead understand where this file/folder is located on your system and ensure you follow the best security practices. If you're having issues locating the correct path for your environment, let us know and we can try helping.

Hey @mimaison

I am going to use node-rdkafka in IBM Functions. In other words, I need to locate certificate in IBM Functions(serverless).

Any solutions?

Thanks,
Eric

Have you tried using /etc/ssl/certs like mentioned in https://github.com/ibm-messaging/event-streams-samples/blob/master/kafka-nodejs-console-sample/app.js#L70?
