Hello!
I’m trying to get authentication running with influxDB but fail to do so. I created a user called ‘nmon’ with password ‘reports’ and granted this user all rights for the database ‘nmon_reports’:
create user nmon with password ‘reports’
grant all on nmon_reports to nmon
Afterwards I enabled http authentication in the influxdb.conf:
[…]
[http]
Determines whether HTTP endpoint is enabled.
enabled = true
The bind address used by the HTTP service.
bind-address = “:8086”
Determines whether HTTP authentication is enabled.
auth-enabled = false
auth-enabled = true
[…]
Now I try to connect to work with this DB as the nmon user and fail to do so. It works neither with providing a password:
root@vdr:~# influx -username nmon -password reports
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.2.4
InfluxDB shell version: 1.2.4
use nmon_reports
WARN: error authorizing query: no user provided
Using database nmon_reports
Nor without providing a password when I would expect to be prompted for one:
root@vdr:~# influx -username nmon
Connected to http://localhost:8086 version 1.2.4
InfluxDB shell version: 1.2.4
use nmon_reports
WARN: error authorizing query: no user provided
Using database nmon_reports
…nor after authenticating with the auth command:
auth
username: nmon
password:
use nmon_reports
WARN: error authorizing query: no user provided
Using database nmon_reports
What puzzles me most ist the “no user provided” message, because I did provide a username…
I tried first with V 1.2.2 which had the same problem an my hope was that it got fixed with V1.2.4 but obviously it didn’t.
Thanks in advance for every hint!
regards,
Stephan
