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.
