Hi,
So I have a standard stand alone install of nifi 2.5.0 on windows 10 ( no LDAP etc ) which created a generated username and password, and which allows me to log in fine.
What I want to do is change this existing nifi generated user from being a normal user to an administrator. Its so i can create new processors via the api. Apparently on the very first login to a new nifi instance it logs you in as admin, but I tried this and couldnt see any options on the menu etc that looked like I had admin privs. But when it starts and runs, it uses port 8400, so its possible someone in the company may have modified the set up slightly? When it starts for the first time it goes through the expansion process.
Can someone please suggest the steps to change the generated normal user to admin level please, or if maybe I'm going about this the wrong way? I have consulted the following doco but no joy. https://nifi.apache.org/nifi-docs/administration-guide.html#creating-users-groups
I have spent 4 hours today trying to work it out and every time i try making changes to the authorizers.xml and login-authentical-provider.xml and just refuses to start due to java errors.
Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance.
