> In NIFI-4942, new functionality was added to allow Ambari clients to perform the encrypted configuration migration without providing the original password or key by using a secure hash of the original credential to demonstrate knowledge of that value. The Ambari team found another way on their end to perform this action, and rather than allow the {{./secure_hash.key}} behavior to be released and then removed at a later time, complicating our security posture and potentially creating difficult support cases, it is better to remove it completely before the 1.7.0 release. 
> However, it is not as simple as just backing out a few commits, as necessary refactoring of the tool code also occurred at that time. I will remove this feature while maintaining the improvements made to the toolkit.
