Description

The SingleUserAuthorizer has code that checks to see if the SinglueUserLoginIdentityProvider is configured, and fails start up if it isn't. This is good to ensure they are only used together.

The issue is, if the SinglueUserAuthorizer is defined in authorizers.xml, but it is not the configured authorizer in nifi.properties, it still performs this check and fails start up. The check should be improved to account for this.
