Example - Secure NiFi Registry with Proxied-Entity

Assuming we have access to the keystore of NiFi Registry itself, and that NiFi Registry is also configured to allow Kerberos or LDAP authentication, an example properties file would be the following:

          baseUrl=https://localhost:18443
 keystore=/path/to/keystore.jks
 keystoreType=JKS
 keystorePasswd=changeme
 keyPasswd=changeme
 truststore=/path/to/truststore.jks
 truststoreType=JKS
 truststorePasswd=changeme
 proxiedEntity=user1@NIFI.COM
      

In this example, the certificate in keystore.jks would be for the NiFi Registry server, for example "CN=localhost, OU=NIFI". This identity would need to be defined as a user in NiFi Registry and given permissions to 'Proxy'.

"CN=localhost, OU=NIFI" would be proxying commands to be executed as "mailto:user1@NIFI.COM".
