Authentication for influxdb on the shinyproxy_usagestats

I have configured shinyproxy 2.3.0 to send usage statistics to influxdb 1.8.0. The crazy thing I’m experiencing is that without influxdb authentication enabled, usage statistics are successfully stored. However, when I enable influxdb auth and introduce proxy.usage-stats-username and proxy.usage-stats-password into application.yml statistic metrics hit influxdb without a username and thus rejected with 401 response code.
I must be doing something wrong!
Is proxy.usage-stats-username and proxy.usage-stats-password the right context for the shinyproxy_usagestats credentials?
