For example (pseudo-)code snippets showing what it might look like help us understand your suggestion better. --> Currently Kafka autoconfiguration supports loading certificates from a file, but does not support loading of a string based PEM certificates. This possibility is supported in Spring Kafka using those properties: - [spring.kafka.producer.ssl.key-store-certificate-chain](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/appendix/application-properties/index.html#application-properties.integration.spring.kafka.producer.ssl.key-store-certificate-chain) - [spring.kafka.producer.ssl.trust-store-certificates](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/appendix/application-properties/index.html#application-properties.integration.spring.kafka.producer.ssl.trust-store-certificates) - [spring.kafka.producer.ssl.key-store-type](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/appendix/application-properties/index.html#application-properties.integration.spring.kafka.producer.ssl.key-store-type) - [spring.kafka.producer.ssl.trust-store-type](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/appendix/application-properties/index.html#application-properties.integration.spring.kafka.producer.ssl.trust-store-type) It's always possible to redefine the KafkaProducer bean but it would be great to have it supported out of the box! Thanks
