Authentication with Usename and Password for Client.Legacy

[mexxBf]

I would love to know a way to authenticate with the legacy client. I want to use flux to query data from an InfluxDB 1.7.10.

In the examples I could not find any clues on how to do it.

Thank you.

Hi @mexxBf,

Currently the legacy client doesn't supports authenticated requests, but will fix that as soon as possible... probably in milestone 1.6.0.

Hi @bednar,

is there any ETA to version 1.6.0? Its a showstopper for me, so I'am curious :)

Thanks

Hi @mexxBf,

The issue is fixed in 1.6.0 milestone.

Authenticate requests

// client creation
var options = new FluxConnectionOptions("http://127.0.0.1:8086", "my-user", "my-password".ToCharArray());

var fluxClient = FluxClientFactory.Create(options);

fluxClient.QueryAsync(...)
...

If you would like to use a preview version use our dev build:

dotnet add package InfluxDB.Client.Flux --version 1.6.0-dev.443

Unfortunatelly this method of authentication is not secure, because it adds credentials to URL not to request headers.
