Pulsar Client Error - Failed to load an authentication plugin


when attempting to run pulsar-client consume command locally, I'm getting the error:

Failed to load an authentication plugin

This is the command I ran:

./pulsar-client consume persistent://data-log/ingest/data-log-kafka -s damo

I have a client.conf configured, and the full "stack trace" from pulsar is listed below. I can't see what I am missing
