Aside from the issue with the ./secure_hash.key file being created in an
odd location, all other issues should be addressed now. If someone can verify
(the more platforms we have coverage on, the better) that would be much
appreciated.
> NiFi Toolkit - Allow migration of master key without previous password
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-4942
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4942
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Yolanda M. Davis
> Assignee: Andy LoPresto
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
>
> Currently the encryption cli in nifi toolkit requires that, in order to
> migrate from one master key to the next, the previous master key or password
> should be provided. In cases where the provisioning tool doesn't have the
> previous value available this becomes challenging to provide and may be prone
> to error. In speaking with [~alopresto] we can allow toolkit to support a
> mode of execution such that the master key can be updated without requiring
> the previous password. Also documentation around it's usage should be updated
> to be clear in describing the purpose and the type of environment where this
> command should be used (admin only access etc).
