Commit 995c7ce2fa5799bd2bbcc09c205dc823b2b405d5 in nifi's branch
refs/heads/master from [~skrewz]
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=nifi.git;h=995c7ce ]
NIFI-2656: replace -k [password] with -K [passwordfile].
This approaches a proper solution on how to hand over the key from
RunNiFi to NiFi. Insofar the password file is pruned as part of the
startup, NiFi processors can't read it.
See also: NIFI-3045.
This closes #1302.

> The bootstrap process {{RunNiFi.java}} is currently responsible for reading
> the key from {{bootstrap.conf}} and sending it to the running NiFi process
> {{NiFi.java}} to be used for sensitive property decryption. This exposes the
> key in two places:
> * Plaintext in {{bootstrap.conf}}
> * In the process invocation
> Running the following command ({{ps -aef | grep -i nifi}}) will result in the
> following output:

> To allow for a more secure invocation, the NiFi process could pause and
> prompt for the password/key entry in a secure console if it is not provided
> in the invocation arguments from bootstrap (or if a special flag is
> provided). While this would require manual intervention to start the process,
> it would not be default behavior.
