Hi Jeremy,
MiNiFi constructs nifi.properties file from the config.yml located in ./conf
folder and this property needs to be set
manually in config.yml before the startup:
Security Properties:
Sensitive Props:
key: ''
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
I recall that I used the NiFi 1.14.0 binary to set the key and then copied that
over to the MiNiFi properties file to get it to work.
Linux only:
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#updating-the-sensitive-properties-key
./bin/nifi.sh set-sensitive-properties-key <sensitivePropertiesKey>

According to migration guidance for NiFi property 'Sensitive Properties Key'
should be generated at startup, I believe this is the same behaviour in case of
MiNiFi since they merged the codebase. Why is this happening?

Subject: Minifi 1.14.0 exception - sensitive props key
Hi to all,
I was using MiNiFi 0.5.0 running on ubuntu, installed as a service.
I switched now to MiNiFi 1.14.0 – I disabled minifi service, deleted
installation folder and unpacked MiNiFi 1.14.0 folder at the same place
where was 0.5.0 installed.
I started new MiNiFi 1.14.0 and the service don't want to start properly
with this exception:
java.lang.Exception: Unable to load flow due to:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: NiFi Sensitive Properties Key

I tried to set the key manually, but the property in nifi.properties gets
overwritten
every time I am starting the service.
Could not find anything about this exception, can someone help, why is this
happening?
Thanks, regards,
Tom
