Wildcard certificates (i.e. two nodes `node1.nifi.apache.org` and
`node2.nifi.apache.org` being assigned the same certificate with a CN or SAN

> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation & Website, Security, Tools and Build
> Affects Versions: 1.7.1
> Reporter: Andy LoPresto
> Assignee: Andy LoPresto
> Priority: Major
> Labels: certificate, documentation, security, tls, tls-toolkit

> With some manual work, the TLS toolkit can be used with a pre-existing
> certificate and private key that has been signed by an organization's
> certificate authority (CA) to sign toolkit-generated certificates. The Admin
> Guide should be improved to cover the necessary steps.
> When the separate "Security Guide" / "Toolkit Guide" is created, this content
> should be migrated there.
