Github user YolandaMDavis commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/915 I setup 2 standalone nifi instances on separate hosts and created a 3rd host to serve as proxy server using Apache Web. NiFi server A was set as the push server which generated 10MB Flow Files every 10 seconds. Server A referred to server B via a RPG. Server B received input flowfiles and saved them to disk via PutFile. The following test configurations were performed: 1) Unsecured NiFi instances with no Proxy - Data was exchanged and saved on Server B as expected 2) Unsecured NiFi instance with Proxy (Basic/Digest Auth) - when attempting to post via Proxy on Server B endpoint nifi-api/data-transfer/input-ports, proxy logged connection attempt with Status 407 415 (authentication required, post method). Proxy logged subsequent responses of 201 or 202 for these attempts. For deletes, 407/415 were logged and subsequent 200 was received (OK). No exception seen in log on either server. Data exchange completed successfully 4) Secured NiFi Instances with no Proxy - After required policy updates in NiFi data was exchanged and performed as expected 5) Secured NiFi Instances with Proxy (Basic/Digest Auth) - Results same as test #2 however proxy logs did not detail resource endpoints accessed (I believe due to SSL enabled) 6) Secured NiFi instances with Proxy (No User/Pass Provided) - NiFi logged error indicating : Unable to refresh Remote Group's peers due to response code 407:Proxy Authentication Required with explanation: null. Error Message was expected and resolved once user/pass provided for proxy. Given the above tests I believe that proxy authentication is working as expected with this patch +1 Will merge into master shortly
