nifi issue accessing UI after activating kerberos with ranger on HDP3.1 with mpack

hello,

We have installed a secured hdp 3.1 cluster on Centos 7.5.

Then we installed mpack in order to add a nifi single node.

The unsecure version worked correctly (at least it displayed the ui correctly ) but upon activating ssl ( with auto generated certificate ) and activating kerberos for authentification, when connecting, we got the following error :

Cannot replicate request to Node my_nifi_FDQN_node:9090 because the node is not connected

This is strange because we use the secure version and connect to nifi via https://my_nifi_FDQN_node:9091/nifi/ and it should not try to connect to 9090.

In nifi-user.log, we can see :

2019-02-22 11:19:10,767 INFO [NiFi Web Server-21] o.a.n.w.s.NiFiAuthenticationFilter Authentication success for my_ldap_user
2019-02-22 11:19:10,772 INFO [NiFi Web Server-21] o.a.n.w.a.c.IllegalClusterStateExceptionMapper org.apache.nifi.cluster.manager.exception.IllegalClusterStateException: Cannot replicate request to Node my_nifi_FDQN_node:9090 because the node is not connected. Returning Conflict response.

I don't know if it has something to do with it but I also got the following audit-log error in the nifi-app.log

Nifi is very new to me so I'm not sure what information to look for.

Hi,


Found out that there was a snapshot file hanging around with a reference to the old unsecure URL.

I've deleted the /var/lib/nifi/state/local/snapshot file and I nearly works. got an authorization error but some ranger tuning will overcomes it.

"nifi Cannot replicate request to Node because the node is not connected"


It's Work.

Thanks.
