NiFi: How to pass basic authentication header while connecting to secured websocket

[#1]

client.txtI need to connect to a secure websocket wss://...... I am able to connect to the socket using java client. I pass username and password as Basic Authorization in the header.

1. headers.put("Authorization", Arrays.asList("Basic " + new BASE64Encoder().encode(credentials.getBytes())));

Attached the full java code.

In NiFi I followed the article

https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/68378/nifi-websocket-support.html

and started using connectWebSocket processor but looks like I should be using java keystore or trust store which I don't have.

How can I pass the header while connecting to the websocket api.

Please guide.

I am new to NiFi, can some one comment if this is some thing I shouldn't be doing in NiFi

Hi @Balakrishna Dhanekula

Were you able to find a solution to this issue yet?

I'm also trying to use the ConnectWebSocket processor with a basic header, but I'm having the same problem as you.

I asked a question in the forum before seeing yours (

I didn't receive any support on this issue.

okay, so you decided not to use Nifi for you websocket client?
