Unable to create a password protected influxDB

[WaleedNaveed]

I am working on a C# application with InfluxDB and Grafana. I am using InfluxData.Net (https://github.com/pootzko/InfluxData.Net#createdatabaseasync). I have to create a password protected Influx database. My code is:

var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler();
httpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback = OnHandleSSl;
var client = new HttpClient(httpClientHandler);

InfluxDbClient _influxDbClient = new InfluxDbClient(Server, Username, Password, InfluxDbVersion.v_1_3, QueryLocation.FormData, client);
var response = await _influxDbClient.Database.CreateDatabaseAsync(DatabaseName);

Issue is that when i go to Grafana on the server and add new data source with this database, data source works fine and does not show any error regarding username/password. Even the data in the database is shown in the grafana. I am using InfluxDB image. I have also tried to enable INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED in DockerFile of InfluxDB. My DockerFile is:

FROM influxdb:1.7.6

ENV TZ=America/Los_Angeles
ENV INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED true

RUN ln -snf /usr/share/zoneinfo/$TZ /etc/localtime && echo $TZ > /etc/timezone

When i run the image created from this DockerFile, i don't get INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED entry in influxdb.conf file. As per InfluxDB documentation, setting INFLUXDB_HTTP_AUTH_ENABLED in environment variable will enable the authentication on the influx server but, in my case its not working.

How can i make a password protected influx database through influxDB image ? What can be the possible issue ? I am stuck and unable to create the password protected database. Any help would be much appreciated.
