Single User

The default Single User Login Identity Provider supports automated generation of username and password credentials.

The generated username will be a random UUID consisting of 36 characters. The generated password will be a random string consisting of 32 characters and stored using bcrypt hashing.

The default configuration in nifi.properties enables Single User authentication:

nifi.security.user.login.identity.provider=single-user-provider

The default login-identity-providers.xml includes a blank provider definition:

<provider>
   <identifier>single-user-provider</identifier>
   <class>org.apache.nifi.authentication.single.user.SingleUserLoginIdentityProvider</class>
   <property name="Username"/>
   <property name="Password"/>
</provider>

The following command can be used to change the Username and Password:

         $ ./bin/nifi.sh set-single-user-credentials <username> <password>
