------------------------------------

             Summary: AWS Credentials for Assume Role Need Proxy
                 Key: NIFI-2799
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2799
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Keren Tseytlin
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.1.0


As a user of Nifi, when I want to enable cross account fetching of S3 objects I need the proxy variables to be set in order to generate temporary AWS tokens for STS:AssumeRole.

Within some enterprise environments, it is necessary to set the proxy variables prior to running AssumeRole methods. Without this being set, the machine in VPC A times out on generating temporary keys and is unable to assume a role as a machine in VPC B. 

This ticket arose from this conversation: http://apache-nifi-developer-list.39713.n7.nabble.com/Nifi-Cross-Account-Download-With-A-Profile-Flag-td13232.html#a13252

Goal: There are files stored in an S3 bucket in VPC B. My Nifi machines are in VPC A. I want Nifi to be able to get those files from VPC B. VPC A and VPC B need to be communicating in the FetchS3Object component.
