Can we configure NiFi on Windows to PopUp for UID and PWD without using LDAP or Kerberos.?

[#1]

Hi,

We are trying to install NiFi on a Windows server as our company only deals with windows servers. We have multiple users that may be using the NiFi eventually , so i like to secure it with a UID and PWD. I read many posts on this , looks like it we either need to configure it with LDAP or Kerberos.

We can try with LDAP , but the problem may be it needs manager dn and pwd . which our security team may not give us due to compliance reasons. Is there any other way i can achieve this.? Can i setup a local LDAP on our NiFi server and configure our users there.?

Regards,

Sai

The answer for the question "Can we configure NiFi on Windows to PopUp for UID and PWD without using LDAP or Kerberos?" is no.

Yes, you can certainly setup a local LDAP for NiFi to use for authorization of users.

Before you can enable LDAP, make sure and secure NiFi for the authentication part.
