I am trying to use NIFI CLI toolkit so that I can load 100 parameters using parameter context. (doing it using UI is a tedious job and not appropriate for deployments as well)
I installed Nifi toolkit on remote server. I generally ssh into this server from local and run my commands.
To see the UI, I use ssh tunnel.
There is only one user for this Nifi Instance (admin) and it don't have https certificates. (Single User Authentication)
When i start CLI prompt it works fine (below)
# sh cli.sh
CLI v1.16.3
Type 'help' to see a list of available commands, use tab to auto-complete.
Session loaded from /root/.nifi-cli.config
#>
But when I use any Nifi commands, it throws below error:
#> nifi list-param-contexts -u http://localhost:8443/
**ERROR**: Error executing command 'list-param-contexts' : **Unexpected end of file from server**
if I use https ,
#> nifi list-param-contexts -u https://localhost:8443/
ERROR: Error executing command 'list-param-contexts' : truststore, truststoreType, and truststorePasswd are required when using an https url
But I don't use truststore or passwords for single admin user.
Also commands related to Registry working fine.
#> registry current-user -u http://localhost:18080
anonymous
#> registry list-buckets -u http://localhost:18080
# Name Id Description

Is this something related to https/URI ? Is Nifi CLI works only when truststore and keystore were used ? But if we dont want to use them, is there an alternative or this is a different issue altogether ?
I don't find much information online for this issue and I was struck from many days..
Sincere request to help me find the problem..
