    Description

      I'm trying to set up an MQTT TLS consumer in 1.12.0 with ConsumeMQTT.  I am initiating the connection to a remote EMQX MQTT TLS broker.  If I configure the StandardRestrictedSSLContextService for a JKS truststore only (no keystore settings since it isn't required) and start the ConsumeMQTT I get the below stack trace in the NiFi logs and the processor fails to start.  Unless I fill in the details for a keystore it won't work, so if both are filled in then it connects fine.  That should be a bug.
       
      I was expecting not to even have to set up the SSL context service because I don't need to locally verify the remote server certificates (InvokeHTTP works this way), I also don't want to maintain them, so I thought that I shouldn't even need a local truststore file but the ConsumeMQTT processor with a broker URI of ssl://x:38883 requires me to set it up.
       
      Processor error:
      ConsumeMQTT[id=d4f3133f-0174-1000-2d37-2fbf855ebf83] Failed to properly initialize Processor. If still scheduled to run, NiFi will attempt to initialize and run the Processor again after the 'Administrative Yield Duration' has elapsed. Failure is due to java.lang.NullPointerException: java.lang.NullPointerException
