             Summary: Usage of -k undermines encrypted configuration
                 Key: NIFI-3045
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-3045
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Anders Breindahl


Hey,

When setting up a hardened NiFi installation I ran into this. I hope I'm mistaken.

When running the `encrypt-config.sh` script, one has a `nifi.bootstrap.sensitive.key` string configured in `bootstrap.conf`. The service startup script makes this be passed from `RunNifi` to`NiFi` by a `-k` parameter.

This however can be retrieved by any user of the interface---which, combined with NiFi being able to read from (the encrypted-under-`nifi.bootstrap.sensitive.key`) `nifi.properties` file means that e.g. the `nifi.security.keystorePasswd` property can be decrypted offline.

Does this have anything to it?
