Description

It is not clear that keystore/truststore must be configured in the config.yml file.  For example, the Admin doc states:

Note: In order to send via HTTPS, the "Security Properties" must be fully configured. A StandardSSLContextService will be made automatically with the ID "SSL-Context-Service" and used by the Provenance Reporting.

There are security properties in bootstrap.conf, nifi.properties, and config.yml.  Further, I did not see any documentation that states bootstrap.conf and nifi.properties are generated from config.yml.  It would help if that was stated early.
