Hi Jens, Thanks for your quick reply. After double checking certificate extended key usage, it looks they are configured as required:

But the certificate used by nifi needs be both a server auth and client auth. Normally certificates are only one of them. The nifi certificate use the server auth for the web ui and when other servers connect to it. It is using the client auth when nifi talks to other nifi servers.

Below is the situation. We have setup a secured nifi cluster with 3 nodes, say node1,node2 and node3. For each of theses nodes, we’ve manually created a SSL certificate signing request (CSR) (using a password protected private key) to be signed by our internal CA. Once we’ve get the certificates signed, I’ve installed each node certificates following this procedure: 1) Add the full certificate chain (root + intermediate certificates) into the signed certificate. cat nifi-nodeX.pem cert_chain.pem > full-nifi-nodeX.pem 2) Create a PKCS12 certificate using private key (.key) and full signed certificate (.pem) openssl pkcs12 -export -in full-nifi-nodeX.pem -inkey nifi-nodeX.key -out nifi-nodeX.p12 \ -name nifi-nodeX -passin pass:"XXXXXX" -passout pass:YYYYY; 3) Import nifi-nodeX.p12 into the nifi-nodeX keystore keytool –omportkeystore –deststorepass xxxxxx –destkeystore keystore.jks –srckeystore nifi-nodeX.p12 –srcstoretype PKCS12 4) Then added each other nifi-node certificates (.pem) into nifi-truststore node1: add full-nifi-node2 + full-nifi-node3 into truststore node2: add full-nifi-node1 + full-nifi-node3 into truststore node3: add full-nifi-node2 + full-nifi-node1 into truststore 5) Restarted each node Once each node are restarted, I can connect to the web UI, but I’ve got an error message saying: For info, web UI is reachable on port 8443 Invalid State: The Flow Controller is initializing the Data Flow. Looking at node logs (nifi-app.log) I can see that each node cannot talk to each other and to the Coordinator to send heartbeat messages: Nifi-node1: INFO [main] o.a.n.c.c.n.LeaderElectionNodeProtocolSender Determined that Cluster Coordinator is located at nifi-node2:11443; will use this address for sending heartbeat messages INFO [main] o.a.n.c.p.AbstractNodeProtocolSender Cluster Coordinator is located at nifi-node2:11443.

I’ve tried all the above procedure without adding the full cert chain, same errors. I’ve tried with autogenerated self-signed certificates using nifi-toolkit, and it works as expected, so I think there is definitely something wrong with the signed certificates but I’ve no clue at all what it could be. Please could someone light my lantern, I’ve no more idea or way to explore.
