             Summary: RPG should be able to list the source NiFi DNs when supplied URL is secure.
                 Key: NIFI-2393
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-2393
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.0.0
            Reporter: Matthew Clarke
            Priority: Minor


Currently there is an expectation that the DFMs who build dataflows will know the exact DN strings for all the systems that have NiFi installed that they build dataflows on.

This results in a poor user experience when setting up S2S as a DFM.  Since automatic account requests are no longer performed in NiFi 1.0 for S2S, the DFM should be provided an easy way to get the necessary information needed to establish these connections.  In many cases the DFM and Admin are not the same person.

One suggestion, would be to to provide a new RPG menu option that would return the DN for the standalone NiFi or All Cluster Nodes.  The DFM could then provide those exact DN strings to the owner of the destination NiFi for authorization.

Another suggestion is to re-enable the auto account request capability from NiFi 0.x.
