   We don't currently write to config.yml, so if the user wants the same value upon restart, they should copy it back to the config.yml. I believe we do something similar for other properties, you have to update the config.yml manually rather than the generated nifi.properties.
   
   Having said all that, it's kind of academic since we aren't actually using that key for anything yet :) By then we may have refactored MiNiFi to not fully restart at all for example. This PR lays a little groundwork for the rest of the security stuff and satisfies NiFi's requirement that the property be set before successful startup.
