[jira] [Created] (NIFI-10018) NiFi instance encrypted with AES_GCM fails to start

Daniel Salwerowicz created NIFI-10018:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: NiFi instance encrypted with AES_GCM fails to start
                 Key: NIFI-10018
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10018
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Configuration, Configuration Management, Tools and Build
    Affects Versions: 1.16.1
         Environment: CentOS server, Java 11
            Reporter: Daniel Salwerowicz


During setup of new NiFi instance on server I decided to encrypt the its configuration. It seemed to work well, at least there were no errors given during encryption:

However when I started the NiFi instance I saw following message in the "nifi-bootstrap.log" file:
{noformat}
2022-05-11 11:08:57,700 ERROR [NiFi logging handler] org.apache.nifi.StdErr Failed to start web server: Error creating bean with name 'niFiWebApiConfiguration': BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'metaDataSourceAdvisor': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'methodSecurityMetadataSource' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.security.config.annotation.method.configuration.GlobalMethodSecurityConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'setObjectPostProcessor' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'org.apache.nifi.web.security.configuration.AuthenticationSecurityConfiguration': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through constructor parameter 2; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'authorizer': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is org.apache.nifi.properties.SensitivePropertyProtectionException: Protection Scheme [aes/gcm/256] not supported
2022-05-11 11:08:57,701 ERROR [NiFi logging handler] org.apache.nifi.StdErr Shutting down...{noformat}
In the "nifi.properties" I have following:
{noformat}
nifi.sensitive.props.key=...
nifi.sensitive.props.key.protected=aes/gcm/256
nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm=NIFI_PBKDF2_AES_GCM_256
nifi.sensitive.props.additional.keys={noformat}
Why is it that the standard AES_GCM encrypted instance fails to starts with message: "Protection Scheme [aes/gcm/256] not supported"?

There's nothing in the documentation that states otherwise.
[https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/toolkit-guide.html#AES_GCM]
The toolkit guide says nothing about this being unsupported.
