@kkawamura @Matt Based on your recommendations , Here is what I did . But I still cant see the remote input port. I used these commands to create keystore and truststore on my local HDF server which is HTTP , copied on to my Config folder.. and updated the config file as nifi.security.keystore=./conf/localhost.keystore.jks nifi.security.keystoreType=JKS nifi.security.keystorePasswd=**** nifi.security.keyPasswd=***** nifi.security.truststore=./conf/localhost.truststore.jks nifi.security.truststoreType=JKS nifi.security.truststorePasswd=***** and on my remote instance which is HTTPS with LDAP..i logged in as admin and created a user matching DN of the client..like below.. and granted access to the retrieve site-to-smote policy and input port.. and my flow on the remote server is when i drag RPG and point that to remote server..i am getting this error below. 3:50:10 CST WARNING 697e84b3-0158-1000-bd67-1e28e1517603 Unable to connect to https://localhost:11090/nifi due to javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target Regards, Sai ...

So this means i cannot access a HTTPS Nifi instance from a HTTP using RPG? Is there a way where i can type in username and password of the HTTPS nifi and get thru from HTTP nifi.? just trying to see if there is an easier way without going my local instance to HTTPS. But if i have to go HTTPs on the local instance , do i need same keystore and truststore of the server.? Thanks, Sai ... View more
