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

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
