----------------------------------
Summary: Correct JSON Web Signature key algorithm in
Administration Guide
Key: NIFI-16539
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-16539
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation & Website
Affects Versions: 2.12.0
Reporter: Nikita Jare
The Administration Guide property table describes
nifi.security.user.jws.key.rotation.period as controlling how often the system
"generates a new RSA Key Pair".
Since NIFI-13424, application bearer tokens are signed with generated Ed25519
Key Pairs, and NIFI-14048 added RSA only as a fallback when the configured
Security Providers do not support Ed25519 (KeyPairGeneratorConfiguration). The
JSON Web Tokens section of the same guide already describes Ed25519, so the
property table contradicts it.
This change corrects the property description and documents the RSA fallback.
