The project I'm on is running into this issue as well and it gets particularly painful when all of your server's are signed by the same root ca that signs your smart card logins and your using something like KnoxSSO. Explaining to your end users that you should skip the first Certificate Prompt but accept the second but only when you haven't logged in the current session is really painful and shows major shortcoming between the back end authentication between servers and front end ui authentication.
We can't even considering putting it behind our identify reverse proxies because we can't turn off two way ssl.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is currently an easy way to disable X509-based identity extraction in NiFi today. There is an open JIRA for the same issue in NiFi Registry [1]. NiFi Registry follows the same AuthN/AuthZ design (and a fair amount of code) as NiFi, so this ticket should apply to NiFi as well. Perhaps you could share more about your needs and use case on that ticket so that when it gets implemented we could take that scenario with reverse proxies and OIDC into account?

Any idea how I can disable X509 authentication in Nifi? Connecting directly to nifi, it triggers the proper OIDC redirects. -- Curtis Ruck
