--------------------------------
Component/s: Core UI
Core Framework
> my ftp password is "${password}" so nifi's LISTFtp won't use it.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-5270
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5270
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework, Core UI
> Affects Versions: 1.6.0
> Reporter: eric twilegar
> Priority: Major
> Labels: expression-language, passwords, registry, security,
> variable
>
> I'm joking of course, but if that was your password the processor would fail
> as it would consider it an expression and not a password.
> In all seriousness though we really do something like "isPasswordExpression"
> checkbox for all controllers. This would also allow nifi registry to not
> consider them secrets and so you don't have to cut and paste ${ftp_password}
> after deploying a version. Maybe just adding passwordExpression vs sharing
> the property is a better idea.
>
> I didn't test whether you can escape the password in someway, so there is a
> chance this isn't a bug.
