How to set password for Redis?

Question

I\'m working with redis on my local machine so I dont really need to set up a password to connect to the server with my php client (I\'m using predis as a client). However, I\'

Answer 1

To set the password, edit your redis.conf file, find this line

# requirepass foobared

Then uncomment it and change foobared to your password. Make sure you choose something pretty long, 32 characters or so would probably be good, it's easy for an outside user to guess upwards of 150k passwords a second, as the notes in the config file mention.

To authenticate with your new password using predis, the syntax you have shown is correct. Just add password as one of the connection parameters.

To shut down redis... check in your config file for the pidfile setting, it will probably be

pidfile /var/run/redis.pid

From the command line, run:

cat /var/run/redis.pid

That will give you the process id of the running server, then just kill the process using that pid:

kill 3832

Update

I also wanted to add, you could also make the /etc/init.d/redis-server stop you're used to work on your live server. All those files in /etc/init.d/ are just shell scripts, take the redis-server script off your local server, and copy it to the live server in the same location, and then just look what it does with vi or whatever you like to use, you may need to modify some paths and such, but it should be pretty simple.

Answer 2

you can also use following command on client

cmd :: config set requirepass p@ss$12E45

above command will set p@ss$12E45 as a redis server password.

Answer 3

open redis configuration file

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf 

set passphrase

replace

# requirepass foobared

with

requirepass YOURPASSPHRASE

restart redis

redis-server restart

Answer 4

For that, you need to update the redis configuration file.By default, there is no any password for redis.

01) open redis configuration file

sudo vi /etc/redis/redis.conf

find requirepass field under SECURITY section and uncomment that field.Then set your password instead of "foobared"

# requirepass foobared

It should be like,

requirepass YOUR_PASSWORD

Then restart redis and start redis-cli.

If you need to check whether you have set the password correctly, you can run below commads in redis-cli.
