How to set and authenticate password in Redis?
To set up a password and verify it, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Redis configuration file, redis.conf.
- Find and remove or add the following configuration lines:
- Set a password as “your_password”.
- Replace your_password with the password you want to set.
- Save and close the configuration file.
- Restart the Redis server.
- Run the redis-cli command line tool.
- Enter the command AUTH followed by your password, replacing your_password with the password you have set.
- If the password is correct, Redis will display “OK” to indicate successful authentication.
Now that you have successfully set and verified the password, you will need to use the correct password for all future connections to access the Redis server.
