I have been working (slowly) on the suggested improvements for performance
and a reference CLI for basic admin operations. I haven't figured out an
elegant way of packaging a CLI-executable class in a NAR file, but I agree
there should be some most basic tool available to generate proper hashes, or at
least demonstrate how to do so.
I will add a sample config file and documentation.
I do not propose to add any UI features within this ticket/PR. However,
I'm curious how you think that might work. Can plugin NARs can add to the web
API and UI, or would that imply tighter coupling with the core features? For
the moment, I see this as a more peripheral and optional plugin.
> Simple Username/Password Authentication

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: James Wing
> Priority: Minor
>
> NiFi should include a simple option for username/password authentication
> backed by a local file store. NiFi's existing certificate and LDAP
> authentication schemes are very secure. However, the configuration and setup
> is complex, making them more suitable for long-lived corporate and government
> installations, but less accessible for casual or short-term use. Simple
> username/password authentication would help more users secure more NiFi
> installations beyond anonymous admin access.
