> auth-enabled = true

In Raspberry Pi OS...

```auto
whereis influxdb

influxdb: /usr/lib/influxdb /etc/influxdb

```

So, /etc/influxdb/influxdb.conf

Don't know if that helps.

I am no expert and can only point you do do a [Google search](https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=influxdb+influxdb.conf+auth-enabled+%3D).

It does seem to depend upon which version of InfluxDB you are using.
