KEDA Kafka Scaler unable to connect to GSSAPI_SASL based Kafka

[EshwarHilabs]

I'm unable to connect to our kafka server which uses GSSAPI and SASL for authentication from the keda-operator, the error that the library is throwing is -

[Root cause: KRBMessage_Handling_Error] KRBMessage_Handling_Error: AS Exchange Error: AS_REP is not valid or client password/keytab incorrect < KRBMessage_Handling_Error: KDC did not respond appropriately to FAST negotiation

If someone could help me out with the root cause of the solution or any pointers to any sort of fix, that would be helpful. I'm sure of the parameters like keytab, krb5.conf, bootstrap servers because our java application uses these same file to connect to kafka

One more thing that is confusing is I've disabled FAST negotiation via the parameter mentioned however the KEDA Client is still trying to use FAST negotiation
