Hi,

I want to implement hdfs encryption with nifi but the problem is to create encryption zone as it require super user to create and my nifi is running as different user. Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks in advance.

The normal workflow will be to create the encryption zone ahead of time and to associate it with a user/group from the Ranger KMS.

As long as your Nifi workflow is running as an authorized user, it will be able to write into your HDFS encrypted folder.
