Hi Etienne

Did you tried the following in «nifi-registry.properties»:
nifi.registry.security.needClientAuth=false

Cheers Josef

Subject: Need help SSL LDAP Nifi Registry

Hello all.

I am trying to setup LDAP authentication on NiFi Registry.
I followed some links, like 
https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Community-Articles/Setting-Up-a-Secure-Apache-NiFi-Registry/ta-p/247753

But each time, it requires that a certificate is installed on client side. I 
had this "problem" for NiFi but because I did not provided the 
nifi.security.user.login.identity.provider

But for the registry, I remember that and did it.

For summary, what I have in nifi-registry.properties
nifi.registry.security.keystore=./conf/keystore.jks
nifi.registry.security.keystoreType=jks
nifi.registry.security.keystorePasswd=password
nifi.registry.security.keyPasswd=password
nifi.registry.security.truststore=./conf/truststore.jks
nifi.registry.security.truststoreType=jks
nifi.registry.security.truststorePasswd=password

(All of those informations were given by the tls-toolkit, when executed for 
NiFi)
Then I put this
#nifi.registry.security.identity.provider=
nifi.registry.security.identity.provider=ldap-identity-provider

In the file identity-providers.xml
I setup the LDAP provider
    <provider>
        <identifier>ldap-identity-provider</identifier>
        
<class>org.apache.nifi.registry.security.ldap.LdapIdentityProvider</class>
        <property name="Authentication Strategy">SIMPLE</property>

        <property name="Manager DN">uid=admin,ou=system</property>
        <property name="Manager Password">secret</property>

        <property name="TLS - Keystore"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Keystore Password"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Keystore Type"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Truststore"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Truststore Password"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Truststore Type"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Client Auth"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Protocol"></property>
        <property name="TLS - Shutdown Gracefully"></property>

        <property name="Referral Strategy">FOLLOW</property>
        <property name="Connect Timeout">10 secs</property>
        <property name="Read Timeout">10 secs</property>

        <property name="Url">ldap://localhost:10389</property>
        <property name="User Search Base">ou=users,dc=test,dc=ch</property>
        <property name="User Search Filter">uid={0}</property>

        <property name="Identity Strategy">USE_DN</property>
        <property name="Authentication Expiration">12 hours</property>
    </provider>

And finally in authorizers.xml
    <userGroupProvider>
        <identifier>file-user-group-provider</identifier>
        
<class>org.apache.nifi.registry.security.authorization.file.FileUserGroupProvider</class>
        <property name="Users File">./conf/users.xml</property>
        <property name="Initial User Identity 1">uid=firstuser, 
ou=users,dc=test,dc=ch</property>
    </userGroupProvider>

    <accessPolicyProvider>
        <identifier>file-access-policy-provider</identifier>
        
<class>org.apache.nifi.registry.security.authorization.file.FileAccessPolicyProvider</class>
        <property name="User Group Provider">file-user-group-provider</property>
        <property name="Authorizations 
File">./conf/authorizations.xml</property>
        <property name="Initial Admin Identity"> uid=firstuser, 
ou=users,dc=test,dc=ch </property>
        <property name="NiFi Group Name"></property>

        <!--<property name="NiFi Identity 1"></property>-->
    </accessPolicyProvider>


Starting Registry is OK.

But when I want to access throw Chrome, I have a certificate error : 
ERR_BAD_SSL_CLIENT_AUTH_CERT

How can I force the authentication to not request a client side certificate ?

Thanks for any input.
