Just getting time to return to this... Bryan
First, I was trying to follow the admin guide for converting an existing 0.x instance. It was not working.
Second, however, I walked your tutorial successfully and created a secure instance of NiFi (I'm not, at this moment, interested in creating a cluster). I'm at least as interested in doing a native 1.x instance as converting an old 0.x instance.

Russell, If you are starting with an existing 1.x installation then this post has a tutorial that should cover all the steps to secure the installation: http://bryanbende.com/development/2016/08/17/apache-nifi-1-0-0-authorization-and-multi-tenancy The short version is you should not have to create users.xml or authorizations.xml, NiFi will do that for you the first time it starts secured based on your authorizers.xml. If you are converting an existing 0.x instance there is a way to auto convert that through a property in authorizers.xml, and it should be explained in the admin guide as well. Hope that helps. -Bryan On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 5:21 PM Russell Bateman <r...@windofkeltia.com> wrote:I'm working on securing NiFi 1.1.0 with SSL.

There are no examples I can find of /users.xml/ and /authorizations.xml/, empty or otherwise, to compare with existing, functioning NiFi 0.x installations, so I can't tell if the whole legacy option just doesn't work anyway or if it's just that I've got stuff wrong still.
