Ask for a name and the SA secret to use when creating a connector

[riccardo-forina]

In the connector creation wizard, ask the user to provide a name for the connector.

Also, ask for the SA secret the connector should use to connect to the kafka instance, or, since the SA limit has been lifted provide the option to automatically create an SA.

I think the best place where to do ask for the name is the "Review" step. Currently, it looks like this:

We could add the name field above the code editor.

The SA part I'm not so sure about. Should we add a "Security" step where the user can either provide the secret or choose an automatically generated SA? And where should we put this, before the Review step? As a substep of the "Configure" step?

@jgiardino I don't think we decided anything about this. What do you think?

Just wanted to add that in DBZ we already ask for the "Connector name"(with UI side validation that it should be a Unique name).

It is being asked at the top / first step of the "Configuration" step. adding the screenshot below

and in the subsequent steps its shown at the top as Connector_name | Connector_type

Good point, I think asking for the name makes sense in DBZ upstream but not much in MAS. Since all connectors will have a name I think this should be handled by the wizard itself.

In #23 it has been implemented like this:

In the review step you have to provide a name and select between using an automatically created SA, or provide the client id and secret.

The automatic creation of an SA isn't yet implemented.

This is a great question! I've captured this question in our primary design document so that UX can discuss there and revisit this with a suggestion.
