NiFi not redirecting to KnoxSSO

[#1]

Hey there,

currently trying to configure KnoxSSO authentication for NiFi. Sadly NiFi doesn't redirect to the KnoxSSO login site. The SSO part should work, because I'm already using it for the Ambari login.

# Apache Knox SSO Properties #
nifi.security.user.knox.url=https://knoxgateway.local:8443/gateway/knoxsso/api/v1/websso
nifi.security.user.knox.publicKey=/certs/nifi/knox.pem
nifi.security.user.knox.cookieName=hadoop-jwt
nifi.security.user.knox.

Above is the relevant properties I configured. I didn't find anything else to do in the installation guide. Sadly there aren't any errors, so I really don't know where to go from here. Is there any configuration I may missed which is required for the redirect?

Best regards,

Markus

NiFi needs to be configured for HTTPS access for the SSO redirecting to work.
