[NiFi] Secured/SSL Environment - Remote Process Group generates Java ExecutionException

teether — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 12:53:28 GMT

Hi,

I've just secured my NiFi 1.5 setup with SSL. I'm able to access the NiFi canvas via https and I've enabled the "nifi.remote.input.secure=true" parameter as well.

My Problem is, as soon as I try to create a remote process group to any destination, doesn't matter if it exists or not - I'm instantly getting the error message "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder.setSSLContext(Ljavax/net/ssl/SSLContext;)Lorg/apache/http/impl/client/HttpClientBuilder". The error doesn't change if I switch between RAW and HTTP. I really have no idea how to troubleshoot...

Beside of that, my cluster behaves normal, look like SSL works.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Have you added any additional JARs to NiFI's lib directory?

This looks like something is on the classpath that shouldn't be.

yes I've added some custom JARs. But my whole setup is created with ansible and I've tested it with NiFi 1.4.0 and 1.5.0. The error above occurs only with NiFi 1.5.0 and only if SSL is enabled. But good point, I can skip the copy JAR part and try it with an out of the box NiFi installation. Will do that and give feedback.

EDIT: you were right, my splunk jar (for logging nifi logs) caused the problem. I've removed it and now I don't see any error
