Description

I have enabled OIDC auth in nifi and given proper access permission to user to view content of flow file.Now I try to see content of flow file from NIFI UI but it is giving me error.

In ideal flow of nifi,nifi fetch the token using rest api and pass this token as Authentication header in all subsequent request but when we try to view content of flowfile it is opening new tab in which all those things are not happening so Authorization header is not passed in request which is generated from new tab. This causes auth problem.
