- **Name** — a short name for the plugin.
- **URL** — a direct HTTPS link to the connector plugin's `.zip` archive.
- **Checksum** (optional) — a SHA-512 checksum to verify the downloaded plugin.
- **Ingress Authentication** — choose **Basic Auth** or **OAuth2** to protect this Kafka Connect cluster's management endpoint. If you choose OAuth2, select the identity provider to use.

- Rename "Ingress Authentication" to "API Authentication" — the setting
  protects the management API endpoint, not an ingress resource.
- Document the connector validate endpoint alongside create/list/etc.

- Add a Troubleshooting section covering common Kafka Connect issues
  (registry misconfiguration, Failed status, config validation errors,
  stale plugin list).
- Wire up a video tutorial embed and inline screenshot placeholders at
  each step, matching the convention used on other pages
  (assets/images/kafka-connect/, assets/videos/kafka-connect.webm) —
  media to be added separately.
