             Summary: When comparing local flow to cluster, all sensitive parameters are detected as changed
                 Key: NIFI-10261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-10261
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core Framework
            Reporter: Mark Payne
            Assignee: Mark Payne


Whenever a NiFi instance syncs its flow with the cluster flow, it detects any differences between the flows and then uses this to determine which components must be stopped/disabled in order to apply updates.

However, the StandardFlowComparator does not decrypt values before comparing them. Since the encryption algorithm used will produce a different value each time, the encrypted values cannot be simply compared to one another. They must be decrypted first.

As a result, any Processor or Controller Service that references a sensitive parameter will be stopped/disabled each time that NiFi is synchronized to a cluster flow.
