Research direction

The work centres on the Kafka agent and its Kafka admin client, which the issue says need changes to support Kerberos-secured clusters. Start by reading how the agent currently builds and configures the admin client, and check the repository's existing tests or test setup for a secured cluster. Done means the agent can administer a Kafka cluster that requires Kerberos authentication, and this should be confirmed with a test run against such a cluster.
