# DNs from certificates and principals from Kerberos into a common identity string:
#
# nifi.security.identity.mapping.pattern.dn=^CN=(.*?), OU=(.*?), O=(.*?), L=(.*?), ST=(.*?), C=(.*?)$

I am using SAML and successfully able to login as an Initial Admin Identity. However after login I can see my UI as seen in image, where all he processors are disabled for me.

Screenshot 2022-06-07 at 10.29.41 PM.png

And if I perform any action like logout or add/edit user, add policy.... I get below error message:
Screenshot 2022-06-07 at 9.46.17 PM.png

Screenshot 2022-06-07 at 10.47.34 PM.pngScreenshot 2022-06-07 at 10.49.11 PM.png
I have similar setup with NIFI version 1.10.0, and it is working fine. But with Nifi-1.15.0 or Nifi-1.16.0 I am unable to perform any action.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you everyone for all the support and help.

RCA: What I have observed, whenever we are performing PUT or Delete HTTP requests, the proxy in front of NiFi is intercepting and denying the request. Hence these requests are not even reaching our EC2 instance, and NIFI request.log is not capturing any PUT/DELETE HTTP requests. Hence on UI, we are getting 403 permissions Issues.

Solution: We have enabled Put/ Delete HTTP requests from the proxy, and are now able to perform all the actions.

Hence we can close this ticket.

how do you log in to the site? do you use the same user that the certificate is created against which should be as specified in the "Initial admin property" in the authorizers.xml file?

avatar

Certificates are for cluster Nodes. As I am using SAML, so I have set my email DI as Initial admin property. And while authenticating calls are redirected to my SAML service and they are authenticating my user. 

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Have you changed anything in the authorizers file after setting it up the first time. If so try deleting "users.xml" and "authorizations.xml" files and restart nifi. Those files will be re created based on the latest setup in the authorizers.xml

I have restarted NIFI by deleting "authorisations.xml " and "users.xml"

Here my user Identifier is: 

<user identifier="5c72646f-a9cb-3239-9450-2511231b004e"/>

But still, I am unable to perform any actions as mentioned in my Post earlier. 

I have also observed, that it shows unauthorised for main process group:

I don't see in your authorizations for your user where you have granted permissions for the root process group.  From the UI you will see an "Operate" panel on the left side of the canvas.  Within the "Operate" panel you will see the component currently selected and an icon that looks like a key.  With Nothing selected, it defaults to the root process group created when NiFi was started the very first time.

Click on that key and add your user to the policies you want your user to have.
By default these policies are not set for the admin as they are not needed by an admin.  These policies are typically used by developers who will be building dataflows on the canvas.

You can find all the access policies in the embedded documentation within NiFi or from the Apache NiFi site:
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#access-policies

Something that strikes me as odd in the configuration file authorizers.xml you shared, I don't see the 

managed-authorizer

That provider would look like this and come after the file-user-group-provider and the file-access-policy-provider:

    <authorizer>
        <identifier>managed-authorizer</identifier>
        <class>org.apache.nifi.authorization.StandardManagedAuthorizer</class>
        <property name="Access Policy Provider">file-access-policy-provider</property>
    </authorizer>


The nifi.properties file you shared is configured to use this authorizer. However, I would have expected NiFi to fail to start if this authorizer was really missing.

Hi @MattWho,
Thank you for replying, it's my bad, I have missed posting my complete authorizers.xml  which have 

<authorizer>
        <identifier>managed-authorizer</identifier>
        <class>org.apache.nifi.authorization.StandardManagedAuthorizer</class>
        <property name="Access Policy Provider">file-access-policy-provider</property>
    </authorizer>

I have tried to click on that key and add my user to the policies. But still, it gives me 403 insufficient permissions :
