Secured NiFi with empty keystore password does not start

avatar
Expert Contributor

I have a cluster with 7 NiFi nodes. After a node crash, on restart, NiFi could not find the file /usr/hdf/current/nifi/conf/keystore.jks and truststore.jks

I have re-created the files with

tls-toolkit.sh client -c tp-hostname.domain.com -t passwordPassword -p 10443

In Ambari config the keystore and truststore pasword are empty.

When I start the NiFi services Ihave:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'protocolSocketConfiguration': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect

In nifi.properties I have:

nifi.security.keyPasswd=
nifi.security.keystore=/usr/hdf/current/nifi/conf/keystore.jks
nifi.security.keystorePasswd=
nifi.security.keystoreType=jks
nifi.security.needClientAuth=False
nifi.security.ocsp.responder.certificate=
nifi.security.ocsp.responder.url=
nifi.security.truststore=/usr/hdf/current/nifi/conf/truststore.jks
nifi.security.truststorePasswd=
nifi.security.truststoreType=jks
nifi.security.user.authorizer=ranger-provider
nifi.security.user.login.identity.provider=
nifi.sensitive.props.additional.keys=
nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm=PBEWITHMD5AND256BITAES-CBC-OPENSSL
nifi.sensitive.props.key=sdlkjdslkjsdlkjdjjd||xyGZZ+R3FO04BxcUHSL5U6+OGqtQQevXbFfecQ
nifi.sensitive.props.key.protected=aes/gcm/256
nifi.sensitive.props.provider=BC

On other NiFi nodes I have an encrypted password in nifi.properties, but the truststore and the keystore has an empty string as a password.

Do you have any idea for this issue?

Thanks in advance

Are you still working on this issue?

I got the same issue!

At the end, I deactivated and activated back SSL, so it generated new certificates for Nifi Cluster.
