Having issues accessing SWIFT subscription using Solace/Kafka

Hey team, 

I'm trying to ingest data from swim.ffa.gov using Solace/Kafka and I'm having issues authenticating: "com.solacesystems.jcsmp.JCSMPErrorResponseException: 403: Subscription ACL Denied - Topic 'solacetest' [Subcode:27]"


I'm using the following version:

solace_version: 2.3.0
kafka_version: 2.3.0


SWIFT Subscription from FFA:

providerUrl=

vpn=


Kafka Server configuration:

    @razvo You don't have access to the "solacetest" topic on the FAA side. In fact, SCDS does not allow access to any topics. In the details of your subscription from SWIM/SWIFT, you are given a queue name. Use that value for the sol.queue entry in the configuration file you have above.

    Also, comment out #sol.topics as you won't be using this.

    Please post back with your results.
