---------------------------------
Summary: Knox SSO token expiry handling (NiFi + Knox + SSO)
Key: NIFI-4986
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4986
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core UI
Affects Versions: 1.5.0
Reporter: Jeff Storck
When NiFi is proxied through Knox using the SSOCookieProvider, the NiFi UI can
not determine when the Knox SSO token has expired.
The NiFI UI attempts to make API calls through Knox via XHRs (XMLHttpRequests),
which end up receiving the Knox SSO login page as the response if the Knox SSO
token has expired. Knox will be patched for this via
[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-1210|KNOX-1210], and a 401 will be
returned by the call to Knox if the token has expired.
The NiFi UI will need a way to allow the user to log in through the KnoxSSO
again after receiving a 401 in this scenario.
