Joe Skora commented on NIFI-786:
--------------------------------
I've tested on 0.7.0 and it functions as intended, but I'm currently having
trouble getting a secure instance of 1.0.0 running to test against.
> Add other supporting options for configuring credentials for AWS processors

> Key: NIFI-786
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-786
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.3.0
> Reporter: Michael Kobit
> Assignee: James Wing
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.7.0
>
>
> I was looking at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-770 and looked at
> how the AWS processors credentials are currently configured. As a NFM you
> have a few options with the properties right now:
> 1) set basic, static credentials
> 2) set a credentials properties filepath
> 3) set neither, use anonymous credentials
> I think it would be better if each AWS could rely on a ControllerService that
> returns `AWSCredentialsProvider` (instead of `AWSCredentials`) that gives
> all of the possible implementations that could be used, rather than relying
> on a static credentials. *Provider implementations can be refreshed and can
> also other more complicated implementations, but already have built in
> support for the Static and Properties file that are provided by NiFi today.
> My thinking is that the controller service would be something like
> public interface AwsCredentialsProviderService extends ControllerService {
> AWSCredentialsProvider getCredentialsProvider();
> }
> and you could have `StaticAwsCredentialsProviderService`,
> `PropertiesFileAwsCredentialsProviderService`, and
> `AnonymousAwsCredentialsProviderService` to provide the functionality that is
> supported right now. Additional credential providers could be added later, as
> there a bunch more AWS provided versions that I think could fit in well.
