Description

Building on the implementation of single user authentication in NIFI-8363 and self-signed certificate generation in NIFI-8403, the default configuration should be updated to enable these features.

This change should disable default access over unencrypted and unauthenticated channels. The project README should be updated to reflect the default behavior with instructions on retrieving the generated username and password from application logs.
