I rebased the commits on the master branch to resolve conflicts and use the
updated LoginIdentityProvider interface and Administrator's Guide content. I
apologize if it complicates reviewing. Changes include:
- Improved performance by only reloading the credentials data if the file
has been modified
- Provided a command-line utility reference implementation
- Added documentation to the Administrator's Guide
- Included a sample login-credentials.xml file to the conf directory
> Simple Username/Password Authentication

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: James Wing
> Priority: Minor
>
> NiFi should include a simple option for username/password authentication
> backed by a local file store. NiFi's existing certificate and LDAP
> authentication schemes are very secure. However, the configuration and setup
> is complex, making them more suitable for long-lived corporate and government
> installations, but less accessible for casual or short-term use. Simple
> username/password authentication would help more users secure more NiFi
> installations beyond anonymous admin access.
