# Summary [NIFI-15081](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-15081) Deprecates anonymous authentication over HTTPS for removal. The `nifi.security.allow.anonymous.authentication` property enables anonymous authentication, but not authorization, to the NiFi UI and REST API. This property defaults to `false` and requires implementing a custom Authorizer, as described in the Administrator's Guide. NiFi 1.12.0 introduced the property and disabled it by default. This property provided a temporary workaround for access issues with advanced user interfaces until NiFi 1.14.0. NiFi 2 continues to support plain HTTP, without authentication or authorization, although this is not recommended. With the default configuration enabling HTTPS and requiring authentication, the allow anonymous authentication property and associated support should be deprecated for removal in subsequent releases. # Tracking Please complete the following tracking steps prior to pull request creation. ### Issue Tracking - [X] [Apache NiFi Jira](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI) issue created ### Pull Request Tracking - [X] Pull Request title starts with Apache NiFi Jira issue number, such as `NIFI-00000` - [X] Pull Request commit message starts with Apache NiFi Jira issue number, as such `NIFI-00000` ### Pull Request Formatting - [X] Pull Request based on current revision of the `main` branch - [X] Pull Request refers to a feature branch with one commit containing changes # Verification Please indicate the verification steps performed prior to pull request creation. ### Build - [X] Build completed using `./mvnw clean install -P contrib-check` - [X] JDK 21 - [X] JDK 25 ### Licensing - [ ] New dependencies are compatible with the [Apache License 2.0](https://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) according to the [License Policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html) - [ ] New dependencies are documented in applicable `LICENSE` and `NOTICE` files ### Documentation - [ ] Documentation formatting appears as expected in rendered files -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
