> The certificates (keystore, truststore) generated by NiFi are not compatible with OpenSSL 3+ because they are created using old/insecure algorithms.
> When starting NiFi 1.19.0 (using the {{apache/nifi}} Docker image) and confguring a single-user auth, which is the default for NiFi, the generated {{truststore.p12}} and {{keystore.p12}} cannot be decrypted (e.g. to extract the public cert/private key into PEM format files so they can be used with {{curl}}) using the OpenSSL version present within the Docker Image.
