I am working on setting up a Debezium Oracle Connector using AWS MSK Connect, and I encounter an error related to loading a config provider class. Here’s the error message:

[Worker-0eb32b99b6a232f99] [2025-01-31 13:46:56,710] ERROR Could not load config provider class com.github.jcustenborder.kafka.config.aws.SecretsManagerConfigProvider (.apache.kafka.connect.runtime.distributed.DistributedConfig:597)

Setup Details:

• I have a Custom Plugin in AWS, housed in an Amazon S3 bucket. This plugin includes two key packages, compressed in a zip file as per Debezium’s instructions:

1. debezium-connector-oracle
2. jcustenborder-kafka-config-provider-aws-0.1.2

Within the jcustenborder-kafka-config-provider-aws-0.1.2 package, I have the following classes, which are confirmed to be present:

• com/github/jcustenborder/kafka/config/aws/SecretsManagerConfigProvider.class
• com/github/jcustenborder/kafka/config/aws/SecretsManagerConfigProviderConfig.class

Problem:

Even though the needed class is packaged correctly and available in the zip file, I am receiving the error mentioned above, indicating that the class could not be loaded.

Thank you in advanced for any suggestions/solutions
