+|nifi.kerberos.krb5.file*|The location of the krb5 file, if used. It is blank by default. Note that this property is not used to authenticate NiFi users. 
+    Rather, it is made available for extension points, such as Hadoop-based Processors, to use. At this time, only a single krb5 file is allowed to
