Description

Going through the Authentication and Authorization sections of the Admin Guide, I noticed the following improvements could be made:

• Removed “Kerberos Config File” property from kerberos-provider login identity provider (this was done because the same property exists in nifi.properties)
• Corrected the "LDAP-based Users/Groups Referencing User Attribute” login identity provider example to refer to “member uid"
• Added titles to login identity provider examples for improved readability/search
• Changed UserGroupProvider property examples from bulleted lists to tables

Also, text formatting for references to config files, directories, etc.  need to be made consistent.  For example, config files like nifi.properties, authorizers.xml should be italicized.  Directories, properties and default values for properties should be monospaced.
