>                 Key: NIFI-11109
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11109
>             Project: Apache NiFi
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.19.1
>            Reporter: Nissim Shiman
>            Priority: Major
>
> If nifi is set to use a registry client and nifi-flow-registry-client-nar is 
> removed from lib, the next nifi restart will result in the registry's class 
> name (in flow.xml.gz/flow.json.gz) to be modified from 
> org.apache.nifi.registry.flow.NifiRegistryFlowRegistryClient
> to 
> NifiRegistryFlowRegistryClient.
> The url property will also be encrypted.
> When the nifi-flow-registry-client-nar is returned to lib, and nifi is 
> restarted, these changes remain and registry is unreachable using this 
> registry client.
> Also, if the nar removed was nifi-standard-services-api-nar, then besides the 
> above behavior, processors under version control via this registry client may 
> also have their dynamic properties encrypted.  These properties remain 
> encrypted even after nifi-standard-services-api-nar is returned to lib and 
> nifi is restarted.
> This is seen with a dynamic property added to GenerateFlowFile (when 
> GenericFlowFile is part of a PG under registry version control).
> These are edge cases as admins should be very careful about removing nars 
> from lib, but it would be good if protections were added to protect 
> flow.xml/json from modifications in these situations.
