Hello Takanobu,

If the issue doesn't happen with standalone mode, I assume it happens
because the security policy does not allow NiFi node to "view the
data".

When a user sends a request to a node within a cluster, the node
proxies the request to other nodes within the same cluster.
I'd recommend to check if conf/authorizers.xml has Node Identity
properties, looks like this:

<authorizer>
  ...
  <property name="Node Identity 1">CN=localhost, OU=NIFI</property>
</authorizer>

IIRC, if you define the Node Identity before starting the secured
cluster at the first time, NiFi automatically creates necessary
policies for each node to proxy user request (I maybe wrong on
this..). If you already have the cluster started, then you can add
NiFi node as a user then add it to the "view the data" policy manually
(probably at the root PG's policy would be the most appropriate
place).

I confirmed that the issue can be reproduced by removing NiFi node
user from "view the data" policy.

Please try above and let us know if it addresses your issue.

Thanks,
Koji
