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.
