username/password not supported in provider

[bluedog13]

The below works. The right configuration would be

provider "confluentcloud" {
  api_key    = var.api_key
  api_secret = var.api_secret
}

Thanks for both opening the issue and sharing the fix! 👏

You're right, one needs to use api_key instead of username and api_secret instead of password, e.g.:

$ cat variables.tf
variable "confluent_cloud_api_key" {
  type = string
  description = "Cloud API Key"
  sensitive = true
}

variable "confluent_cloud_api_secret" {
  type = string
  description = "Cloud API Secret"
  sensitive = true
}

$ cat terraform.tfvars
confluent_cloud_api_key="..."
confluent_cloud_api_secret="..."

$ cat main.tf
terraform {
  required_providers {
    confluentcloud = {
      source  = "confluentinc/confluentcloud"
      version = "0.1.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "confluentcloud" {
  api_key = var.confluent_cloud_api_key
  api_secret = var.confluent_cloud_api_secret
}

# Create the resources
...

We're going to fix it in our next release 👌

@bluedog13 check out the docs for our new 0.2.0 version where we fixed that documentation bug.

Thank you for catching the issue!
