Redis (error) NOAUTH Authentication required

Question

I get the error:

(error) NOAUTH Authentication required.

When in redis-cli and trying to display the KEYS *. I've only set a requirepass not an auth afaiac. I'm in the redis.conf but do not know what to do.

Solution 1

Setting the requirepass configuration directive causes the server to require password authentication with the AUTH command before sending other commands. The redis.conf file states that clearly:

Require clients to issue AUTH before processing any other
commands. This might be useful in environments in which you do not trust
others with access to the host running redis-server.

Solution 2

1. redis-cli
2. auth yourpassword
3. shutdown
4. sudo service redis_6379 start

Solution 3

first run

redis-cli

then after the prompt run

127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH your_password

if all ok you get the OK

Solution 4

1. Make sure you have redis-cli installed.

2. Just use following command.

   redis-cli -h host.domain.com -p port -a yourpassword

Solution 5

comment requirepass (line 480 mostly) in redis.conf file if uncommented.

Usually have a password for security, probably best to provide a solution than enables the ability to put in the password

@Serge Uh... you comment the requirepass part in the redis.conf file?
