influx v1 auth set-active
Not supported in InfluxDB Cloud
InfluxDB Cloud does not support InfluxDB 1.x compatible authorizations.
Using the influx v1 auth set-active command with InfluxDB Cloud will result in an error.
To authenticate with InfluxDB Cloud, use InfluxDB token authentication.
The influx v1 auth set-active command activates an authorization in the InfluxDB 1.x compatibility API.
Only active authorizations grant access to InfluxDB.
Usage
influx v1 auth set-active [flags]
Flags

|---|---|---|---|---|
-c | --active-config | Config name to use for command | string | $INFLUX_ACTIVE_CONFIG |
--configs-path | Path to the influx CLI configurations (default: ~/.influxdbv2/configs) | string | $INFLUX_CONFIGS_PATH | |
-h | --help | Help for the set-active command | ||

Examples
Authentication credentials
The examples below assume your InfluxDB host, organization, and token are
provided by either the active influx CLI configuration or by environment variables (INFLUX_HOST, INFLUX_ORG, and INFLUX_TOKEN).
If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:
--host: InfluxDB host-o, --orgor--org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID-t, --token: InfluxDB API token
Activate a v1 authorization
influx v1 auth set-active --id 00xX00o0X001
