How to write data with defined token or user/password into InfluxDB 2.0

Question

I need to set an influxdb 2.0.3 to be able to write data into it with a defined set of user/pass or token.

My use case is to provide a software component before deploy influxdb, and this component need to have a predefined configuration to write into influxdb (is not possible to interact with api influxdb, just write operation is implemented).

I'm understand in documentation that a user/password is couldn' be used with this new release to write data, only token provide this feature. Is it true?

In other hand, a solution is to set manually a predefined token into influxdb, but I don't found this feature in a api / documentation.

Someone have another solution or a way to bypass this limitation?

Thanks

You cannot define a token's string when creating one in InfluxDB. You will need to create one when you deploy it, and pass the newly created token to whatever software will be writing to InfluxDB.
