Hey Matt, If you don't want to use certificate authentication with the secured NiFi instance, you could point it at an LDAP [1] server and then use a username/password login to NiFi.
NiFi's processors can do everything from manipulating the filesystem of the machine it is running on to dropping tables from databases (given the credentials). If you've gone to the trouble of securing the instance from MITM attacks, wouldn't it make sense to also protect it from malicious users?
