-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow template export to include variable registry
references for sensitive values
Key: NIFI-3110
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3110
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Core Framework
Affects Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Andy LoPresto
By design, templates do not include any processor properties marked as
*sensitive* by the {{PropertyDescriptor}} (e.g. encryption password, JDBC
connection password, etc.). This is to prevent accidental data leakage when
templates are exported and shared.
Now that the [Variable
Registry|https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#custom_properties]
is available, templates should be able to export the value of a sensitive
property **if and only if** it can be determined that the value is a reference
to an entry in the Variable Registry rather than a literal sensitive value.
This will support the efforts for enhancing the "SDLC" process of promoting
flows from "development" to "QA/QE" and "production" environments, as the
template/flow will not need to be modified to reference the distinct values
(under the same reference) in each environment.
