There's an error when consuming a topic using api keys in the command

confluent kafka topic consume <topicName> --from-beginning --schema-registry-api-key <srApiKey> --schema-registry-api-secret <srApiSecret> --api-key <kafkaApiKey> --api-secret <kafkaApiSecret> --environment <env> --cluster <cluster>

Hi, we received a similar issue where it was fixed by creating a new pair of api-key. You may want to try that and see if it can resolve the issue for now. I'll continue investigate. The issue is probably in the process of encrypting/decrypting credentials using windows dpapi.

There's very limited info we could get on this issue. I will do a release this week to add more traces/logs in this command, and can you provide me the output / traces you see using the newer version so I can debug further? Will comment here when the new version is out

hi @natalia-ramos-bzy are you still seeing this issue? You may want to update to latest cli release, and run the same command with --unsafe-trace. Please provide me without the logs output and that will help us investigate. Thanks!
