Hello community,
I'm trying to setup a Nifi cluster with external certifcates (used tinycerts.org) and after setup SSL and LDAP authentication and add my nodes SSL CNs to authorizations.xml via ambari, I have the following message when trying to access to nifi console:
Insufficient Permissions
log outhome
Untrusted proxy CN=node04.nifi.int, OU=Laboratorio, O=Arq de Sistemas, L=Tres Cantos, ST=Madrid, C=ES
I have tried what is told in this link
https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/80246/nifi-untrusted-proxy.html reading the pkcs12 certificate with keytool and getting the CN of the owner part of the certificate:
Alias name: 1
Creation date: Sep 13, 2017
Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry
Certificate chain length: 1
Certificate[1]:
Owner: CN=node01.nifi.int, OU=Laboratorio, O=Arq de Sistemas, L=Tres Cantos, ST=Madrid, C=ES
Issuer: CN=Arq de Sistemas CA, OU=Secure Digital Certificate Signing, O=Arq de Sistemas, L=Tres Cantos, ST=Madrid, C=ES
Serial number: 2cbd
Valid from: Tue Sep 12 11:14:33 CEST 2017 until: Wed Sep 12 11:14:33 CEST 2018
Even with that I still having the same issue so after a bit of research I found this post https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/110527/nifi-hdf30-untrusted-proxy.html
When I remove users.xml and authorizations.xml nifi is not able to create from authorizers.xml, and create an empty ones after that the nifi instances are unable to start and shows this error:
2017-09-13 17:26:47,480 ERROR [NiFi logging handler] org.apache.nifi.StdErr Failed to start web server: Error creating bean with name 'niFiWebApiSecurityConfiguration': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire method: public void org.apache.nifi.web.NiFiWebApiSecurityConfiguration.setX509AuthenticationProvider(org.apache.nifi.web.security.x509.X509AuthenticationProvider); nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'x509AuthenticationProvider' defined in class path resource [nifi-web-security-context.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'authorizer' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'authorizer': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is org.apache.nifi.authorization.exception.AuthorizerCreationException: org.apache.nifi.authorization.exception.AuthorizerCreationException: Cannot provide an Initial Admin Identity and a Legacy Authorized Users File

SSL works fine with the certificates.. my authorizers.xml is the following:

<!--
The FileAuthorizer is NiFi"s provided authorizer and has the following properties:
- Authorizations File - The file where the FileAuthorizer will store policies.
- Users File - The file where the FileAuthorizer will store users and groups.
- Initial Admin Identity - The identity of an initial admin user that will be granted access to the UI and
given the ability to create additional users, groups, and policies. The value of this property could be
a DN when using certificates or LDAP, or a Kerberos principal. This property will only be used when there
are no other users, groups, and policies defined. If this property is specified then a Legacy Authorized
Users File can not be specified.
NOTE: Any identity mapping rules specified in nifi.properties will also be applied to the initial admin identity,
so the value should be the unmapped identity.
- Legacy Authorized Users File - The full path to an existing authorized-users.xml that will be automatically
converted to the new authorizations model. If this property is specified then an Initial Admin Identity can
not be specified, and this property will only be used when there are no other users, groups, and policies defined.
- Node Identity [unique key] - The identity of a NiFi cluster node. When clustered, a property for each node
should be defined, so that every node knows about every other node. If not clustered these properties can be ignored.
The name of each property must be unique, for example for a three node cluster:
"Node Identity A", "Node Identity B", "Node Identity C" or "Node Identity 1", "Node Identity 2", "Node Identity 3"
NOTE: Any identity mapping rules specified in nifi.properties will also be applied to the node identities,
so the values should be the unmapped identities (i.e. full DN from a certificate).

Do you know what maybe happening?
Thank you in advance.
