Andy LoPresto resolved NIFI-1463.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

Custom validation in the {{EncryptContent}} processor will block operation and warn the user that the combination of algorithm and password is insecure. This can be overridden with the "{{Allow Insecure Cryptographic Modes}}" property. 

Updated Admin Guide as well.
