hi @Sivagopal ,

What NiFi Version are you running and what property did you set in nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm? As far as I know, since version 1.14, the algorithm
PBEWITHMD5AND256BITAES-CBC-OPENSSL might have been deprecated and you need to use a newly supported/updated version, which can be found here: https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#updating-the-sensitive-propert... --> Property Encryption Algorithms Section.

Hi @cotopaul , Thanks for Response ,

using 1.16.0 version , already in cluster there are 3 node two is down due to above Decryption Failed with Algorithm [PBEWITHMD5AND256BITAES-CBC-OPENSSL] and Coordinator is UP and running with PBEWITHMD5AND256BITAES-CBC-OPENSSL Algorithm .

[#5]

@cotopaul  While upgrading a node in a cluster want to retrieve the  flow.xml.gz and flow.json.gz from Coordinator which is active in cluster , is it possible ?

@Sivagopal   Check out this post for a similar scenario.  It includes a solution:
