Corey Fritz commented on NIFI-5296:
-----------------------------------

I opened NIFI-5511 for this same feature and [~pvillard] closed it as a dupe of 
this ticket.

[~alopresto], I understand your concerns, but I'd still like to figure out how 
we can support the following use case:

We have several flows committed to a NiFi Registry that require an SSL context. 
We deploy those flows to multiple environments (dev, qa, uat, and production). 
Each environment may have different key, keystore, truststore passwords. Would 
be great if we could use an EL expression to reference passwords that are set 
as env variables in the containers running NiFi (we're deploying our clusters 
to Kubernetes). The flow authors have no need to know what those passwords 
actually are.

We've been using this technique for setting environment-specific values in our 
flows (URLs for HTTP processors, database connection parameters, etc.). The 
environment variables are configured by the cluster administrators, and the 
flow authors just use EL expressions to reference those environment variables.
