Description

This text has an error in it:

It is only necessary to manually add one user, the ADMIN user, to this file. So, at a minimum, the following example entry should be included and contain the user Distinguished Name (DN) in place of "user dn - read only and admin":

<users>
<user dn="[user dn - read only and admin]">
<role name="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
</user>
</users>

Here is an example entry using the name John Smith:

<users>
<user dn="[cn=John Smith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com]">
<role name="ROLE_ADMIN"/>
</user>
</users>

************************************************************************************
The error is the brackets. To get the secure NiFi set up with role-based access, the DN needs to be set withOUT the square brackets. So, here's the correct syntax and example:
<user dn="cn=John Smith,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com">
