-------------------------------
Resolution: Duplicate
[~skrewz] thanks for raising this. closing this one as a duplicate of
NIFI-2656. Please join the discussion there. As you note an authorized user
can place processors on the flow which do things which are dangerous. There
are a number of good next steps we can take to further improve how little even
an authorized user can do.

> Hey,
> When setting up a hardened NiFi installation I ran into this. I hope I'm
> mistaken.
> When running the `encrypt-config.sh` script, one has a
> `nifi.bootstrap.sensitive.key` string configured in `bootstrap.conf`. The
> service startup script makes this be passed from `RunNifi` to`NiFi` by a `-k`
> parameter.
> This however can be retrieved by any user of the interface -- which, combined
> with NiFi being able to read from (the
> encrypted-under-`nifi.bootstrap.sensitive.key`) `nifi.properties` file means
> that e.g. the `nifi.security.keystorePasswd` property can be decrypted
> offline.
> Does this have anything to it?
