I don't remember the reason authentication was not approached at the time implementing the module, could be that it was not available in hiredis at that time.

Now I just googled quickly to see how can be done. Perhaps makes sense to add it inside the code, I guess it is not complex. For the moment I don't have any time to put a redis testbed up so it may take some time in my side, but someone else sends a patch meanwhile and it will be accepted.

You can send a patch to documentation too, for what you want to make it more clear. Update the admin file in modules/ndb_redis/doc/.

Cheers,

Daniel

Thanks for the insight. I ended up doing something like this:

redis_cmd("localredis", "AUTH REDIS_PASS", "r");

if ($redis(r=>type) == REDIS_REPLY_ERROR) {
xlog("L_ERROR", "Redis authentication error");
exit;
}

I think the confusion came from the fact that you do not specify the password in the modparam() connection string, as you do with other DB modules. Maybe calling something like this out in the documentation would help clear that up.

Ah, so you should be able to do something like:

redis_cmd("localredis", "AUTH $var(redis_password)");

Nice. I will try that and post my results.

Hello,

it appears that hiredis library does the authentication after connecting and can be done from config -- that's on a very quick search, not sure if something has changed with the hiredis api meanwhile:

The only way it will work right now is to not use a password:

modparam("ndb_redis", "server", "name=localredis;addr=localhost;port=6379")

I've been wanting to look at contributing support at that, but no time...

Hello. I try to use NDB_REDIS with remote REDIS DB and can not to connect because remote DB use password, but Kamailio module have no any variable or attr of modparam that implenets password for DB.

How I can connect to my REDIS?
