Passwordless authentication in v1 compatibility?

InfluxDB 2
1

We are upgrading from Influxdb 1.8.3 to 2.2 (both OSS) and with 1.8.3, we’ve had authentication disabled and our connection strings do not have usernames and passwords.

We do have a Citrix ADC load balancer which will be in front of the two influxdb 2.2 instances and was wondering if there is any way I could disable authentication or have the load balancer alter the query to add credentials.

Yes, not secure, shouldn’t do it, but this is all internal, unimportant data.

@sblanton InfluxDB 2.x requires authentication and there isn’t a way to disable it. All authentication is done using token authentication, so you could append an Authorization header to each request as they go through your load balancer:

Authorization: Token <your-influxdb-token>

Each instance will have a unique token, so you’ll need some logic to append the correct token.
