Migrating deprecated features requires changes to application properties or custom component implementations. The steps involved will be different based on implementation details and deployment use cases.
Legacy and Alternative Sensitive Properties Algorithms
Component | org.apache.nifi.encrypt.PropertyEncryptorBuilder |
Bundle Group | org.apache.nifi |
Bundle Artifact | nifi-property-encryptor |
Deprecation Type | Allowed Values |
Deprecated Version | 1.21.0 |
Migration Difficulty | LOW |
Migration Type | Property Update |
Migration
The nifi.sensitive.props.algorithm property in the nifi.properties configuration has supported a large number of possible values, including improved algorithms introduced in NiFi 1.14.0.
Starting with NiFi 1.14.0, the default value of the Sensitive Properties Algorithm changed from PBEWITHMD5AND256BITAES-CBC-OPENSSL to NIFI_PBKDF2_AES_GCM_256.
NiFi 1.18.0 added deprecation warnings for all algorithms starting with PBE.
NiFi 1.21.0 added deprecation for the following values using the bcrypt or scrypt algorithms, as well as other values using 128 bit keys.
- NIFI_ARGON2_AES_GCM_128
- NIFI_BCRYPT_AES_GCM_128
- NIFI_BCRYPT_AES_GCM_256
- NIFI_PBKDF2_AES_GCM_128
- NIFI_SCRYPT_AES_GCM_128
- NIFI_SCRYPT_AES_GCM_256
NiFi 2.0.0 supports the following options:
- NIFI_ARGON2_AES_GCM_256
- NIFI_PBKDF2_AES_GCM_256
Running the nifi.sh command supports migrating from a deprecated algorithm to a supported algorithm.
nifi.sh set-sensitive-properties-algorithm NIFI_PBKDF2_AES_GCM_256
The Administrator's Guide provides additional details related to setting the Sensitive Properties Algorithm.
ProcessContext encrypt and decrypt methods
Component | org.apache.nifi.processor.ProcessContext |
Bundle Group | org.apache.nifi |
Bundle Artifact | nifi-api |
Deprecation Type | Interface Method |
Deprecated Version | 1.20.0 |
Migration Difficulty | HIGH |
Migration Type | Implementation redesign |
Migration
The ProcessContext interface provides property and component configuration information to Processors through the onTrigger method. The encrypt and decrypt methods supported enciphering and deciphering component-provided strings using the Sensitive Properties Key and Sensitive Properties Algorithm configured in nifi.properties.

SSLContextService createSSLContext methods
Component | org.apache.nifi.ssl.SSLContextService |
Bundle Group | org.apache.nifi |
Bundle Artifact | nifi-ssl-context-service-api |
Deprecation Type | Interface Method |
Deprecated Version | 1.13.0 |
Migration Difficulty | LOW |
Migration Type | Method invocation changes |
Migration
The SSLContextService interface is a standard Controller Service that supports TLS communication for network services. The createSSLContext methods accepted a Client Authentication argument that did not apply to SSLContext instances. The replacement createContext method provides the same runtime behavior without requiring any arguments. Updating custom code to compile against Apache NiFi 1.13.0 or greater and switching to the createContext method provides compatibility with Apache NiFi 2.0.0.

...
Component Class | org.apache.nifi.processors.standard.UpdateAttribute |
Bundle Group | org.apache.nifi |
Bundle Artifact | nifi-standard-nar |
Migration
HashAttribute supports generating an MD5 digest of one more FlowFile attribute name and value pairs. The MD5 algorithm is not secure for cryptographic operations, and alternatives such as the SHA-2 or SHA-3 algorithms should be used.
...
