-----------------------------------

             Summary: my ftp password is "${password}" so nifi's LISTFtp won't use it.
                 Key: NIFI-5270
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5270
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: eric twilegar


I'm joking of course, but if that was your password the processor would fail as it would consider it an expression and not a password.

In all seriousness though we really do something like "isPasswordExpression" checkbox for all controllers. This would also allow nifi registry to not consider them secrets and so you don't have to cut and paste ${ftp_password} after deploying a version. Maybe just adding passwordExpression vs sharing the property is a better idea. 

 

I didn't test whether you can escape the password in someway, so there is a chance this isn't a bug.
