------------------------------------
Summary: Load sensitive properties from files at startup
Key: NIFI-11314
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11314
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Chris Sampson
As part of https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/6995 for NIFI-7060 (abandoned),
the idea of being able to provide sensitive values for properties at startup
was introduced, e.g. the password for the NiFi Registry database could be
provided in a file on the localhost.
This approach should be considered for NiFi components, particularly for use
cases where configuration may otherwise be provided via environment variables
and/or the nifi.properties file cannot easily be re-configured, e.g. when
running as Docker Containers using the convenience Docker Images from Docker
Hub.
Ability to provide such sensitive properties via file (and reference those
files via environment variables) is something found in other well-known
applications, e.g. Elasticsearch.
