Redis Security

Redis Security

shape Description

Some amount of security in redis is not very robust but are basically sent the password so as to access the redis database. To secure redis you need to set the password in config file. The goal of this is to give a basic understanding of what exactly Redis does and how it differs from other database, both relational and NoSQL and equip the user with the knowledge and need to able to start using Redis with a real application. But has to be feel comfortable enough with Redis, and explain how Redis work to decide if Redis would be a good choice for a data store for the application. Redis actually run on the server for configuring file it actually is going to require a password for utilizing the command line interface and equip the user with the knowledge and need to able to start using Redis with a real application. But has to be feel comfortable enough with Redis, and explain how Redis work to decide if Redis would be a good choice for a data store for the application.

Redis general security model

shape Description

Redis is designed to be accessed by trusted clients inside trusted environments. This means that usually it is not a good idea to expose the Redis instance directly to the internet or, in general, to an environment where untrusted clients can directly access the Redis TCP port or UNIX socket. For instance, in the common context of a web application implemented using Redis as a database, cache, or messaging system, the clients inside the front-end (web side) of the application will query Redis to generate pages or to perform operations requested or triggered by the web application user. In this case, the web application mediates access between Redis and untrusted clients. This is a specific example, but, in general, untrusted access to Redis should always be mediated by a layer implementing ACLs, validating user input, and deciding what operations to perform against the Redis instance. In general, Redis is not optimized for maximum security but for maximum performance and simplicity.

shape Syntax

The syntax that illustrates the security demonstration of Redis database.
127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH password

Example

shape Description

The below example illustrates the security demonstration of Redis database. [c]127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH "SPLessons" OK 127.0.0.1:6379> SET mykey "Test estimation" OK 127.0.0.1:6379> GET mykey "Test estimation"[/c]

Summary

shape Key Points

  • Security - Describe the need to set password in the config files in redis database.
