   > Could we document the `SSL_CERT_DIR` and `SSL_CERT_FILE` environment 
variable options for setting the certificate somewhere? Maybe write a test 
using those variables as well?
   
   I was planning to do that, but it would take quite a bit of additional code 
to create automatic tests for this, as it requires that none of the paths 
listed in `utils::getDefaultCAPath()` exists (so we'd have to remove it), and 
also we'd need to create a mechanism for setting environment variables in the 
MiNiFi container.
   
   I don't think we want to encourage people to use the `SSL_CERT_DIR` and 
`SSL_CERT_FILE` environment variables; setting the `CA Certificate` property in 
`SSLContextService` or the `SSL Certificate Authority` property in `ListenHTTP` 
is a better option.
   
   I have tested these manually because in case there is a production issue we 
need a quick temporary solution for, it's good to know we have this option.
