admin API issues (solved)

[abiank]

Http admin API docs use the "name" parameter, but the correct paramter to pass is "username"

i am having a few issues using the admin api. for example:

(influx is running on host y)

i add a db called testing
ale@cu:$ curl -X POST 'http://y:8086/db?u=root&p=root' -d '{"name": "testing"}'
the following line should add a db admin according to docs, but returns 404.
ale@cu:$ curl -X POST 'http://y:8086/db/testing/admins?u=root&p=root' -d '{"username": "admin", "password": "whatever"}'
404 page not found

another issue i have is that i cannot seem to add more than one user to a db:

ale@cu:~$ curl -X POST 'http://y:8086/db/testing/users?u=root&p=root' -d '{"name":"fulluser","password":"fulluser", "readPermissions":[{"matcher":"."}],"writePermissions":[{"matcher":"."}]}'

first added user is ok, but if i add another one:

ale@cu:~$ curl -X POST 'http://y:8086/db/testing/users?u=root&p=root' -d '{"name":"rouser","password":"rouser", "readPermissions":[{"matcher":".*"}],"writePermissions":[{"matcher":"null"}]}'
User already exists

it is telling me the user already exists even though names are different. and in the end if i do:

get a list of users for db testing

ale@cu:~$ curl 'http://y:8086/db/testing/users?u=root&p=root'
[{"username":""}]

...always an empty list, unless i use db site_dev, for which i get:

ale@cu:~$ curl 'http://y:8086/db/site_dev/users?u=root&p=daje'
[{"username":"al"},{"username":"public"}]

I think there's an inconsistency between the docs and the actual implementation. I'll address those shortly and close this issue.

Thanks @abiank for reporting this issue. The docs and implementation are in sync now. Please revisit the docs.

All of you examples should work except the /db/testing/admins. This endpoint doesn't exist anymore, you should use /db/testing/users and send a body that looks like {"admin": true} to add the admin privilege or false to remove it from a given user.
