Description

Today we have a single principal used for interacting with NiFi via SPNEGO and when operating as a service. We should offer a way to specify/establish these principals separately such as

nifi.kerberos.service.principal=nifi/hostname@REALM
nifi.kerberos.service.keytab=path
nifi.kerberos.spnego.principal=HTTP/hostname@REALM
nifi.kerberos.spnego.keytab=path
