@chhaya_vishwaka    Please stop your NiFi nodes and delete the local NiFi "state" directory on each of them.  Then restart your NiFi nodes to see if this helps.  Removing the local state will clear out the retained node information which may still contain info about your nodes before they were secured. Thanks, Matt ... View more

@chhaya_vishwaka    You can see from the nifi-user.log that the DN passed to NiFi was: CN=nifi-host1, OU=nifi, O=nifi, L=SG, ST=SG, C=SG Where did cert with above DN come from? Is a cert with this DN loaded on your browser? The NiFi user log goes on to tell you that the above authenticated string was not authorized for "view the user interface": [CN=nifi-host1, OU=nifi, O=nifi, L=SG, ST=SG, C=SG], groups[] does not have permission to access the requested resource. Unable to view the user interface. Returning Forbidden response.   This certificate does not have  "Admin" anywhere in its DN.  Did you maybe load your NiFi node certificates in to your browser also?  When your browser prompted you to select a certificate to use, did you maybe select the wrong one? I also see from above that the entire DN is being passed for authorization which tells me you do not have an identity mapping pattern setup in your nifi.properties file to trim a portion of the DN (CN value most commonly) from the full DN.    If you used "Admin" as your initial admin identity, then the resulting string after authentication and post any configured identity mapping is applied must match exactly to "Admin". https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/administration-guide.html#identity-mapping-properties   As an example, the following identity mapping pattern properties would result in the above DN being trimmed so that only "nifi-host1" would be passed to the authorizer. nifi.security.identity.mapping.pattern.dn=^CN=(.*?), OU=nifi, O=nifi, L=SG, ST=SG, C=SG$ nifi.security.identity.mapping.value.dn=$1 nifi.security.identity.mapping.transform.dn=NONE Note:  The transform property is used to normalize the resulting mapped value to all UPPER or all LOWER case if needed.  NONE results in no transform. Also keep in mind that mapping patterns will also be applied to your server certificates DNs.  So if your server certificate DN matches the pattern regex also, only the server certs CN value will be passed to authorizer. So if you use identity patterns, you are likely going to need to update your " Initial User Identity <num>" and "Node Identity <num>" in your authorizers.xml file to use the CN value instead of the full DN for each of your nodes.   Hope this helps, Matt     ...

@nishank_paras    Let's assume your input FlowFile content looks like this: Date, IP, Description 01-30-2020, 10.0.0.1, server1 01-30-2020, 10.0.1.2, server2 01-30-2020, 10.0.3.4, server3 01-30-2020, 10.0.4.6, server4 01-30-2020, 10.0.10.2, server5   You would configure your ReplaceText processor as follows: The Search Value contains a java regular expression which will match on your entire line and uses one capture group.   The Replacement Value says to replace everything matched by the Search Value Regex with only the value from capture group 1.  We then configure ReplaceText to evaluate that Regex against each line. The resulting FlowFile output to the success relationship will have content that looks like this: IP 10.0.0.1 10.0.1.2 10.0.3.4 10.0.4.6 10.0.10.2 Hope this helps, Matt ... View more

@chhaya_vishwaka    "Insufficient Permissions" indicates the issue is with user/client authorization and not authentication anymore. Note: you may or may not see the "log out" option. You should tail the nifi-user.log and then try accessing the NiFi UI to get the full log output for the user action that was attempted. For example: 2020-02-07 15:32:51,925 INFO [NiFi Web Server-26362] o.a.n.w.a.c.AccessDeniedExceptionMapper identity[nifiuser1], groups[nifiDFMeast, users] does not have permission to access the requested resource. Unable to view the user interface. Returning Forbidden response. 2020-02-07 15:32:51,927 DEBUG [NiFi Web Server-26362] o.a.n.w.a.c.AccessDeniedExceptionMapper org.apache.nifi.authorization.AccessDeniedException: Unable to view the user interface.   If you are not ever seeing the canvas, your authenticated user does not have the "view the user interface" (/flow policy) granted to your authenticated user identity string.  As you can see from above nifi-user.log output, we can confirm this. What we also learn from this log output is that the user who successfully authenticated is being identified with user string "nifiuser1" and is a member of two groups "nifiDFMeast" and "users". NiFi authorization is handled by which ever authorizer you have configured in your NiFi authorixzers.xml and referenced my the following property in your nifi.properties file: nifi.security.user.authorizer=managed-authorizer   By default a secured NiFi will use a file based authorizer which relies on a "users.xml" (associates locally created known users to locally created known groups) and an "authorizations.xml" (associates the UUIDs assigned to the users and groups to various authorization policies. So using example above, my users.xml file would need to contain user "nifiuser1" and groups "nifiDFMeast" and "users" (all case sensitive).  Each of those strings would be assigned a UUID.  In order for my user to see the NiFi canvas, one of those assigned UUIDs would need to be assigned to the /flow policy in the authorizations.xml file. NiFi on first startup only creates the users.xml and authorizations.xml file based on initial admin identity and node Identity values configured in the authorizers.xml file.  If you have already started NiFi secure and later edit these identities, those changes will not be reflected in either file.   Remove these two files an restart NiFi so they are created new again with your changes (this should only be done during initial setup of a secure NiFi).  Once your initial admin user is able to access the UI, all additional users and authorizations policies would be added via the NiFi UI.

@Pr1    While I am not an IMAP expert, the exception you are seeing here: PKIX path building failed. unable to find valid certification path This is a TLS handshake exception telling you that the complete certificate trust chain does not exist in the keystore.  On the NiFi side the complete trust chain would found in the NiFi truststore.jks.  Note: If NiFi is not secured you may need to add the trust chain certs to the NiFI java's default cacerts keystore. You can use openssl to get the complete trust chain for the IMAP server you are trying to consume from: openssl s_client -connect <IMAP server>:<IMAP port> -showcerts In the server hello response returned from the IMAP server using above command, you will see multiple certificates.  First certificate is the imap server's public certificate (you do not need this one).  You will need all the public certificates that follow that server certificate.  These will be your Signing CAs (there may be one or more in order of signing until you reach the rootCA). The rootCa is last and you will notice the owner and issuer DN is the same. Each certificate begins with: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ends with: -----END CERTIFICATE-----   So you want to copy each certificate including the above lines to separate files: Eaxamples: intermediate.pem, intermediate2.pem, rootCA.pem  You can then use keytool to import these CAs in to your NiFi truststore. keytool -importcert -alias <alias usually based off CN name for certiifcate> -file <certificate.pem> -keystore <truststore.jks or java cacerts> -trustcacerts Note: each certificate imported must use a unique alias.   I recommend importing your certificates in the same order as they were listed in openssl response (importing the rootCA last). Restart your NiFi so it loads the modified keystore. Hope this helps resolve your trust chain issue, Matt ... View more

@chhaya_vishwaka  NiFi keystore requirements: 1. NiFi Keystore must contain only ONE PrivateKeyEntry 2. NiFi does not support using wildcards in certificate DNs 3. PrivateKeyEntry must support both clientAuth and serverAuth Extended Key Usage (EKU) 4. PrivateKeyEntry must contain at least one Subject Alternative Name (SAN) entry that matches the hostname on which the keystore is being used. You can obtain a verbose output of your keystore using the keytool command to verify all of the above criteria are met: keytool -v -list -keystore <your keystore file> Once above is verified, you need to make sure the truststore being used by all your NiFi nodes contains the complete certificate trust chain for your server certificates. This means if your server certificate was signed by an intermediate CA, your truststore must contain the public certificate for that intermediate CA as well as the public certificate for the signer of the intermediate CA.  Yo u may have several intermediate CAs in-line before you finally reach the rootCA (owner and issuer are the same). Once above is verified, now it should be just a matter of authenticated and authorized access to your secured NiFi.  By default when you enable TLS in NiFi, all clients/users are expected to authenticate with NiFi using a user certificate which they load in their browser.  NiFi does not have local user for purpose of authentication. NiFi can be configured to support additional forms of user authentication such as Spnego, LDAP, kerberos, OpenID connect, etc.  Refer to the admin guide and user guide for more detail.  Your browser screenshot indicates that you do not have a client/user certificates loaded in your browser which your secured NiFi can trust and since NiFi did not redirect you to login page, you do not have a login provider configured in your login-identity-providers.xml (or nifi.properties file is not configured to use it if you do). Hope this detail helps you on the path to resolving your issue, Matt ... View more

@Rohitravi    The Path Filter is applied against all subdirectories of the configured "Input Directory".  Any files found in the base "Input Directory" are still going to be listed.  If you had files in "dir4", they should not have been listed. Is dir2 empty?  If so can you change your "Input Directory" to /dir1/dir2 instead of /dir1/dir2/dir3. I cannot think of a reason why when filtering based on subdir path that you would still expect to returns from the base directory, so I filed an Apache jira ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-7104 ). Another option is to add a RouteOnAttribute processor after your listFile processor to route on only FlowFile where the absolute.path FlowFile attribute included "dir5". Then auto-terminate the unmatched relationship and route the "dir5" relationship on to the next component in your dataflow. Hope this helps, Matt If you found this solution resolves your query, please take a moment to click accept. ... View more

@DivyaKaki    Since all your certificates have been signed by the same CA, the truststore used by all nodes only needs to contain the public cert for that one CA.    Thanks, Matt ... View more

@DavidR    That is one extremely large flow.xml.gz.  I would guess that once uncompressed it falls in the ~1.5 GB size range.  My guess is that you have a large number of templates loaded in your NiFi. The Encrypt-Config toolkit serializes the flow.xml.gz in memory in order to re-encrypt the sensitive properties. The " Requested array size exceeds VM limit" is telling you that the action taken has created an array that exceeds the max JVM array size of 2^31-1 elements.  Increasing the JVM heap size will not change this max supportable array size. NiFi then ends up with no flow.xml.gz because as a result of the failed encrypt config toolkiit operation, no re-encrypted flow.xml.gz was produced as output.   So on next restart attempt of NiFi service, it starts fine and creates a blank flow.xml.gz since one did not exist. This is documented in this bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6999 Workaround for this issue: 1. Start your NiFi nodes from command line rather then via Ambari.  ( <path to nifi>/bin/nifi.sh start ) 2. Once NiFi cluster is back up and running, download and then delete templates stored in NiFi.   Access the global menu (upper right corner) --> Templates.  This opens a list of all stored NiFi templates.  One by one download (optional) and delete each template.  Removing stored templates does not affect anything instantiated to the canvas. These actions should greatly reduce the size of your flow.xml.gz.  Then try restarting NiFi via Ambari again. Hope this helps, Matt ... View more
