Description

Redis supports a trivially simple and insecure authentication method. This function implements it.

Usage

redisAuth(pwd)

Arguments

pwd

The (required) password.

Value

TRUE if sueccessful, FALSE otherwise.

Details

If you use this function, it's probably a good idea to encrypt network traffic between Redis and its client with a program like stunnel. Otherwise, passwords are transmitted over the network in clear text.
