Bryan Bende commented on NIFIREG-403:
-------------------------------------
That is not how it works... NiFi Registry is an application with a REST API,
the UI and NiFi are both clients of the REST API. From the perspective of
saving a version of a flow, it is just a call to the REST API, it could be from
NiFI or from curl or from NiFi CLI, or any tool. If registry is unsecured then
we have not authenticated whoever is making that call and therefore we have no
way to know what user identity to store as the committer. In the case when NiFi
is saving to NiFI Registry, NiFi does send over the identity of the user, but
it still requires that NiFi itself authenticates to registry and registry
verifies that NiFi is an authorized proxy.
