Kerberos or LDAP authentication

Hey all,

Is Kerberos or LDAP authentication available in NiFi?

Kind regards
Chris

Chris,

LDAP authentication will be included in 040. This is currently being worked
in the NIFI-655 branch. Kerberos integration should follow in our next
release.

Chris,

We have support for interaction with a Kerberos enabled HDFS cluster
today.  For authentication within NiFi as of right now it is via 2-way
SSL.  This is powerful yet cumbersome to setup unless you're in an
environment with a robust PKI infrastructure.

So for the upcoming NiFi 0.4.0 release a key feature coming is
authentication backed by Active Directory or Directory Server using
LDAP.  You can see more about it here
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-655

Thanks
Joe
