> Eventual goal is the deprecation of TLS Toolkit [1] for targeted NiFi 2.0 release, in order to address maintenance concerns.  
> Generation of equivalent keystores and truststores for single development node is covered by automatic self-signed certificate generation added in NiFi 1.14.0 [2].  Kubernetes cert-manager / organization-specific Certificate Authorities / Let's Encrypt service provide coverage for keystore needs in production deployments.
> For development clusters, OpenSSL and Java Keytool provide another means to generate NiFi-ready keystores to be used for secured communication between cluster nodes.  Documentation of needed "openssl/keytool" command sequences should fill needs currently provided by TLS Toolkit.
> Probable scope would include touches of Admin Guide (administration-guide.adoc), Toolkit Guide (toolkit-guide.adoc), and Walkthroughs (walkthroughs.adoc).  Follow-on work would target the removal of the current TLS Toolkit.
