InfluxDB Authentication Preferences
To enable InfluxDB authentication follow the steps highlighted at https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/8824#issuecomment-329746475.
.. note::
ntopng creates retention policies and continuous queries. This requires an InfludDB user with admin privileges. It is not possible for non-admin users to create retention policies (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45656074).
Therefore, an admin user is required the first time ntopng is set up to use InfluxDB to allow creation of retention policies and continuous queries. Once the database has been created, a non-privileged user can used.
