Thanks for taking a look! I don't know enough about the tool to make a
change to this behavior as it might have good reason it needs to work that way.
For now I will update the PR to disable the tests, and we can take our time to
discuss the best approach that looks at the tests and tool holistically.
> NiFi Toolkit - Allow migration of master key without previous password
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-4942
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4942
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0
> Reporter: Yolanda M. Davis
> Assignee: Andy LoPresto
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.7.0
>
>
> Currently the encryption cli in nifi toolkit requires that, in order to
> migrate from one master key to the next, the previous master key or password
> should be provided. In cases where the provisioning tool doesn't have the
> previous value available this becomes challenging to provide and may be prone
> to error. In speaking with [~alopresto] we can allow toolkit to support a
> mode of execution such that the master key can be updated without requiring
> the previous password. Also documentation around it's usage should be updated
> to be clear in describing the purpose and the type of environment where this
> command should be used (admin only access etc).
