[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-1355) Provide dynamic code-generated certificates for HTTP tests to avoid expiry

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1355?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17278046#comment-17278046 ] 

ASF subversion and git services commented on NIFI-1355:
-------------------------------------------------------

Commit 6e1f737c53523843b7a3222d0c6dbc2d84e4aa09 in nifi's branch refs/heads/main from mtien
[ https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=nifi.git;h=6e1f737 ]

NIFI-1355  Implemented new methods in KeyStoreUtils to programmatically-generate certificates, Keystores, and Truststores and return it wrapped in a TLS configuration.
Updated TestInvokeHTTP, TestInvokeHttpSSL, TestInvokeHttpTwoWaySSL, and TestListenHTTP to use new Keystore functionality.

NIFI-1355 Refactored and removed unnecessary unit tests in KeyStoreUtilsGroovyTest.

NIFI-1355 Added a password requirement when creating a new truststore.
Handled exception when loading a passwordless truststore type of Bouncy Castle PKCS12.

This closes #4801

> As documented, the test certificates/keys used in the TestInvokeHttp and TestInvokeHttpSSL tests expired in 2014. With the constant removal of non-certificate based cipher suites from client libraries, the lack of valid certificates meant that the Jetty server could not offer any compatible cipher suites, and the tests failed. I manually generated and loaded new certificates but they expire after 1 year. Adding code to dynamically generate and load these certificates into the keystore and truststore would remove this inconsistent blocker.
