Minifi sentitive value

pasq — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:11:58 GMT

Hi there,
I have a minifi flow, designed with Nifi Canvas, and contains sensitive value for certain property (like SSL truststore password).
How can I set the sensitive value in the minifi flow before execution?
I do not need to encrypt passwords, I need to provide password directly in flow json raw.

I am using version 2.2.0 for both nifi and minifi.

Thank you.
Pasq

Did you know that Cloudera makes managing and deploying your MiNiFi agents easy with Cloudera Edge Management? Our ManagementHub provides a UI to build, deploy and update the dataflow you deploy to one too many MiNiFi agents.

You can create parameters for various properties like passwords to provide those at deployment time through Edge Management

Check out this Video.

NiFi processors with "sensitive" properties are designed to encrypt those password when written to the flow.json.gz. Even in MiNiFi these component classes will expect that the passwords are encrypted. The defined sensitive.props.key property value in the minifi.properties or nifi.propertes is used in the encryption/decryption of these sensitive properties stored in the flow.json.gz file.
