Thanks for the responses.

Matt Clarke: The permissions look fine.  Nifi runs as user “nifi” and all files 
are owned by “nifi” (with write permissions of course)

Matt Gilman:
As far as additional logging here is what I found – No errors of any sort:

Subject: Re: authentication problem


Verify the user running your nifi has the correct permissions to read and edit 
all the database files in the NiFi database repository directory. Also make 
sure the user running NiFi had permissions to edit the authorized-users.xml 
file. This file is only read on start-up. After nifi is running it operates 
solely from the memory and DBs. My guess is here that nifi can not update the 
authorized-users.xml file with the changes you are making in the User 
management UI.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi – whenever we restart Nifi half the accounts are disabled with this message:

INFO [main] o.a.n.a.s.action.SeedUserAccountsAction User not authorized with 
configured provider: <user-id>. Disabling account...

The users are in the authorized-users.xml file.  Is this a configuration issue 
on our part or a bug?  It is curious that not all the accounts get disabled 
only some and it is always the same accounts.

To re-enable the accounts I go into the users page, select the disabled user 
(click the little pencil) and click ‘apply’ with no changes - the account is 
re-enabled.

Details:
Nifi 0.6.1
authority-providers.xml: default file provider
login-identy-management.xml: kerberos-provider (corporate system – everyone is 
in it)
authorized-users.xml:setup for each user

Thanks,
Ralph
