Jul Tomten updated NIFI-8684:
-----------------------------
    Description: 
I use InvokeScriptedProcessor

I'm trying to read a sensitive property from the process context

 

before restarting NiFi it was working fine

after restarting  NiFi - NiFi fails to startup with the error below

see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7012

to recover I had to uncomment the code and remove the property:  Password3 
using a text editor on the flow.xml

 

Many thanks to mburgess the cookbook author.

I'm new to NiFi so sorry if I've simply made a programming error.
 It seems like I'm not the only one with the similar problem.

I try to createa flow that login to provenance repository in a NiFi with LDAP 
using the InvokeHttp in a later step. To login I need to fetch a JWT-token and 
then call the provenanc repo REST apis using the token. When fetching the token 
I want to hide tha password. Maybe there is a better way. I also would like to 
store the token in a secure way and not store it as attribute. I use the  
DistributedMapCacheServer to cache the token until expiry but maybe there is a 
better way. 

[https://host:port/nifi-api/access/token] POST 

 This endpoint only supports form based authentication but if it supported 
basic authentcation too it would be simpler becasue then the InvokeHttp 
processor could access it and the password would be hidden by sensitive 
property. It doesn't help to actually hide the token in the flow. Howdo you 
store sensitve values at attribute in the flow? Maybe it is wrong thinking to 
do so.
 It seems like many are struggling with oAuth2 token based authentication as 
well. client credentials grant and password credentials grant and so on. 
Havne't found any cookbook for that.

 

 

 I'm on Ubuntu and java 1.11 sap machine

In Dell Boomi they have [https://ace.c9.io/] as script editor. It's almost a 
bug not to have a decent script editor for InvokeScriptedProcessor and the 
other script processors.  The tiny little NiFi script window is painful to wotk 
with and closes when you press enter to create a new line.

 

  was:
I use InvokeScriptedProcessor

I'm trying to read a sensitive property from the process context

 

before restarting NiFi it was working fine

after restarting  NiFi - NiFi fails to startup with the error below

to recover I had to uncomment the code and remove the property:  Password3 
using a text editor on the flow.xml

 

Many thanks to mburgess the cookbook author.

I'm new to NiFi so sorry if I've simply made a programming error.
 It seems like I'm not the only one with the similar problem.

I try to createa flow that login to provenance repository in a NiFi with LDAP 
using the InvokeHttp in a later step. To login I need to fetch a JWT-token and 
then call the provenanc repo REST apis using the token. When fetching the token 
I want to hide tha password. Maybe there is a better way. I also would like to 
store the token in a secure way and not store it as attribute. I use the  
DistributedMapCacheServer to cache the token until expiry but maybe there is a 
better way. 

[https://host:port/nifi-api/access/token] POST 

 This endpoint only supports form based authentication but if it supported 
basic authentcation too it would be simpler becasue then the InvokeHttp 
processor could access it and the password would be hidden by sensitive 
property. It doesn't help to actually hide the token in the flow. Howdo you 
store sensitve values at attribute in the flow? Maybe it is wrong thinking to 
do so.
 It seems like many are struggling with oAuth2 token based authentication as 
well. client credentials grant and password credentials grant and so on. 
Havne't found any cookbook for that.

 

 

 I'm on Ubuntu and java 1.11 sap machine

In Dell Boomi they have [https://ace.c9.io/] as script editor. It's almost a 
bug not to have a decent script editor for InvokeScriptedProcessor and the 
other script processors.  The tiny little NiFi script window is painful to wotk 
with and closes when you press enter to create a new line.
