             Summary: Support authentication and authorization running Nifi on http inside service mesh
                 Key: NIFI-11632
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-11632
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.21.0
         Environment: Kubernetes with service mesh
            Reporter: Dheeraj Joshi


In service mesh deployments typically TLS is terminated at the envoy proxy and HTTP traffic is forwarded to the service. This eliminates the need for applications to handle TLS requirements

At present Nifi needs to be secure with HTTPS to perform the authentication and authorization. This is mainly due to various authentication methods supported in Nifi

When Nifi is deployed on a secured mesh Nifi could still run on HTTP while the HTTP is performed at the sidecar proxy

Hence, it is desired to enable authentication and authorization while Nifi is running  on HTTP
