Migrating file-based user handling and policies

If you use NiFi built-in file-based policy and user handling, then you have to migrate the content of the users.xml and authorizations.xml files. This should be done after LDAP migration, if NiFi used LDAP.

  1. Copy the user or group entries from /var/lib/nifi/conf/users.xml and add the entries into /var/lib/users.xml for every NiFi instance.
  2. Copy the policy entries from /var/lib/nifi/conf/authorizations.xml and add the entries into /var/lib/authorizations.xml for every NiFi instance.

    If you have only a few user entries and policy configurations, it is quicker to re-apply them through the NiFi UI, instead of synchronizing the old and the new users and authorization XML files.
