I'm getting same error again and again. Not able to resolve it. Can anyone help me in it. Nifi running in Linux server

Thanks for the output! This explains the issue that you're seeing.

You mentioned before that you were using Java 1.8.0_275, but the log line you just provided shows that NiFi is actually using Java 1.8.0_74.

In this version of Java, cryptographic key sizes are limited and NiFi cannot not handle AES keys larger than 128 bits. Because of that, NiFi fails to instantiate AES iphers properly. To enable that in your Java version, you would have to download the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength policies and copy them to your Java home manually to allow AES keys of size 256 and larger. These policies are only included by default in the JDK starting from update 1.8.0_162.

If you already have Java 1.8.0_275 installed, make sure NiFi can see it and use it. This will solve your problem. You can verify which Java version NiFi is using by checking the line that I mentioned in the log.

Cheers,

André

Do you see the same error string in nifi-app.log ? or there are any additional information in applogs ? if you see more details, please provide.

Are you able to make any changes to flow design ?

Can you please permissions and space is fine where flow.xml.gz is placed?

Thank You.

Hi @ckumar

The flow changes made are not being saved in the Nifi. All read and write permissions are given to file flow.xml.gz.

I can see one error in nifi-app.log. "Error initializing the cipher". Below is the error. Is this causing the issue?
