AUTH \_password\_
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Request for authentication in a password protected Redis server.A
|
|
Redis server can be instructed to require a password before to
|
|
allow clientsto issue commands. This is done using the
|
|
*requirepass* directive in theRedis configuration file.
|
|
|
|
If the password given by the client is correct the server replies
|
|
withan OK status code reply and starts accepting commands from the
|
|
client.Otherwise an error is returned and the clients needs to try
|
|
a new password.Note that for the high performance nature of Redis
|
|
it is possible to trya lot of passwords in parallel in very short
|
|
time, so make sure to generatea strong and very long password so
|
|
that this attack is infeasible.
