All, I've started working on providing additional authentication mechanisms for the NiFi user interface. Currently, only two way SSL using client certificates is supported to authenticate users. I would like to inquire about which other mechanisms the community would like to see implemented.
We have created a feature proposal discussing some of the options [1]. At a high level, in additional to PKI, we are looking at - Username/password -- stored in a local configuration file (ie authorized-users.xml) -- stored in a configurable LDAP -- stored in a configurable database - Kerberos - OpenId Connect What other options are important and should be added to the list? Thanks! Matt [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NIFI/Pluggable+Authentication
