David Handermann commented on NIFI-13437:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for the replies [~jrsteinebrey] and [~pvillard].
The {{FileParameterProvider}} works well with Kubernetes Secrets mounted as
files, but aside from that specific use case, I'm not following the rationale
for a properties-based implementation. Is there another container-based
deployment strategy that would be expected to provide these values?
Loading sensitive values from an unencrypted local file does not provide the
same security features of an external system, or the local flow flow
configuration, as Joe mentioned.
The Variable Registry approach was removed for multiple reasons, so just
attempting to provide a similar type of functionality does not really describe
the intended use case scenario.
Base64 encoding aligns with mounted Kubernetes Secrets, but again, having a
clearer connection to what process or service would provide these properties
files would help clarify the implementation driver.
