Bryan Bende commented on NIFI-13679:
------------------------------------
I think the command likely existed before registry clients were an extension
point, so the only kind of client was a NiFi Registry client with a single
property for URL.
Since the properties can now be arbitrary for any given client implementation,
we probably want to consider allowing the command to accept a json object as
input which contains the registry client entity. We have similar examples for
create-controller-service and create-reporting-task I think.
> NIFI CLI create-reg-client should be capable of handling
> GitHubFlowRegistryClient

> Key: NIFI-13679
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-13679
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Environment: Official Docker Images 2.0.0-M4 (NiFi, NiFi Registry,
> NiFi Toolkit) running on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and Docker v27.0.3
> Reporter: Julien Ledoux
> Priority: Major
>
> This ticket concerns the {{bin/cli.sh nifi create-reg-client}} and
> {{update-reg-client}} commands.
> While attempting to automate the provisioning of
> NifiRegistryFlowRegistryClient(s) and GitHubFlowRegistryClient(s), I noticed
> that the available options in the NiFi CLI do not fully support the necessary
> configurations for GitHub.
> I tried using the {{--properties}} option to see if I could create a
> {{GitHubFlowRegistryClient}} this way. While it is possible to change the
> registry client type to {{{}GitHubFlowRegistryClient{}}}, the CLI doesn't
> allow configuring all the specific properties—only those it shares with
> {{{}NifiRegistryFlowRegistryClient{}}}.
> It would be highly beneficial to have the ability to manage this type of
> registry client in the same way as {{{}NifiRegistryFlowRegistryClient{}}}.
> It seems that the DTO object does support all the GitHub-specific properties,
> but the command currently only passes four properties to the DTO: name,
> description, type, and URL.
