Description

Currently, configuring proxy settings for NiFi processors may be a tedious process that requires the DFM to set proxy settings on individual processors.

This leads to:

• Duplication of work
• Management overhead (as password must be changed on multiple locations)
• Lower security (as proxy credentials must be known by "n" DFMs)

Ideally, NiFi should offer a way to minimise duplication of work by offering a something similar to the Standard SSL Context services. This way, the DFM could set the proxy settings once an all authorised users could tap into those settings.
