Koji Kawamura resolved NIFI-6309.
---------------------------------
    Resolution: Not A Bug

Thanks for reporting the issue [~scotthowell]. However, I believe this is an expected behavior. Unencrypted RSA private key doesn't have passphrase. Although unencrypted RSA private key is less secure since it can be used once it's stollen, it's commonly used especially in dev-environments. We should allow a private key path without a passphrase.

> When using a private key with PutSFTP the code requires that there is a key passphrase also used. The processor does not show invalidated once you add the private key. Would be helpful to have some validation on the processor to show that you also need to include a key passphrase.
