Implementing authorization programmatically.
Hi All,
We have typical requirement of implementing authorization programmatically. We are new to NiFi and aware of the authorization through UI. However, modifying authorizations.xml programmatically is something we are looking for. Any pointer to documentation, source code would be great help.
Thank You.
Regards,
Dnyaneshwar Pawar

Building on Koji's point, there is a demo in NiPyApi for setting up a
secured environment:
https://github.com/Chaffelson/nipyapi/blob/master/nipyapi/demo/secure_connection.py
That particular script creates a demo environment on Docker containers, but
you can lift the process and underlying security calls to craft to your own
requirements.

Hello,
I recommend using NiFi REST API instead of modifying authorizations
xml directory, because:
- What you do through UI can be done programmatically by sending the
same REST requests that NiFi UI sends from browser. You can debug such
requests using browser developer tool. Such as
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/
- You will need to restart NiFi process to reload the updated xml
file, while REST API can change authorization against a live NiFi.
- You will need to sync xml file content among all NiFi node in a
cluster. If you update authorization via REST API, it will be synced
automatically.
Docs for NiFi REST API is here.
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/rest-api/index.html
In order to call NiFI REST API endpoint programmatically, NiPyAPI may be useful.
