Hey, @andormarkus, looks pretty interesting. We are using MSK rather often in our projects.
I suggest it would be useful to either update`kafka-ui-sasl.yaml` with this example or create a new example file? @Haarolean, thx for reviewing, this will not work in docker compose, this is specific config for aws iam configuration.
Would you consider support for MSK & IAM integration ?
Hello

AWS announced support for a new SASL mechanism called AWS_MSK_IAM which enables to handle both authentication and authorisation with AWS IAM. Is there a chance to add support for that mechanism to kafka-ui?

[source](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-data/securing-apache-kafka-is-easy-and-familiar-with-iam-access-control-for-amazon-msk/):
```
If you’re using the Java clients (such as Java Producer, Consumer, Kafka Streams, or Kafka Connect), 
you’re in luck—all you need to do is to reference the Java library using Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>software.amazon.msk</groupId>
    <artifactId>aws-msk-iam-auth</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>		
</dependency>
```

Thanks,
Andor

+# How to configure AWS IAM Authentication
+
+UI for Apache Kafka comes with built-in [aws-msk-iam-auth](https://github.com/aws/aws-msk-iam-auth) library.
+
+You could pass sasl configs in properties section for each cluster.
+
+More details could be found here: [aws-msk-iam-auth](https://github.com/aws/aws-msk-iam-auth)
+ 
+## Examples: 
+
+Please replace 
+* <KAFKA_URL> with broker list
+* <PROFILE_NAME> with your aws profile
+
+
+### Running From Docker Image
+
+```sh
+docker run -p 8080:8080 \
+    -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_NAME=local \
+    -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_BOOTSTRAPSERVERS=<KAFKA_URL> \
+    -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_PROPERTIES_SECURITY_PROTOCOL=SASL_SSL \
+    -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_PROPERTIES_SASL_MECHANISM=AWS_MSK_IAM \
+    -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_PROPERTIES_SASL_CLIENT_CALLBACK_HANDLER_CLASS=software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMClientCallbackHandler \
+    -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_PROPERTIES_SASL_JAAS_CONFIG=software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMLoginModule required awsProfileName="<PROFILE_NAME>"; \
+    -d provectuslabs/kafka-ui:latest 
+```
+
+### Configuring by application.yaml
+
+```yaml
+kafka:
+  clusters:
+    - name: local
+      bootstrapServers: <KAFKA_URL>
+      properties:
+        security.protocol: SASL_SSL
+        sasl.mechanism: AWS_MSK_IAM
+        sasl.client.callback.handler.class: software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMClientCallbackHandler
+        sasl.jaas.config: software.amazon.msk.auth.iam.IAMLoginModule required awsProfileName="<PROFILE_NAME>";
+```
