Problem

The url is look like: `redis://user:password@localhost:30000/0` even : `redis://:password@localhost:30000/0` used : `new Redis('redis://user:password@localhost:30000/0')` I know, it's just a warning, but I wanna a clean log. And my redis server needs a password. "ioredis": "^4.19.2" node v12.19.0 redis v6.0.9

Remove Password from Redis Connection String for Default User

Medium Risk

The warning occurs because the Redis server's default user does not require a password, but a password is being supplied in the connection string. This results in a warning in the logs, indicating a mismatch between the expected authentication method and the provided credentials.

Be the first to verify this fix

  1. 1

    Identify the Correct User Configuration

    Check your Redis server configuration to confirm if the default user requires a password. If it does not, you should not supply a password in the connection string.

    bash
    cat /etc/redis/redis.conf | grep requirepass
  2. 2

    Update the Connection String

    Modify the connection string in your application to remove the password if the default user does not require one. If you need to authenticate, create a new user with a password in your Redis configuration.

    typescript
    new Redis('redis://localhost:30000/0')
  3. 3

    Create a New User with Password (if needed)

    If your application requires authentication, create a new user in Redis with a password. Update your Redis configuration file to include this new user.

    bash
    ACL SETUSER newuser on >newpassword
  4. 4

    Test the New Configuration

    After making changes, restart the Redis server and test the connection using the new user credentials if applicable. Ensure that no warnings appear in the logs.

    bash
    redis-cli -u redis://newuser:newpassword@localhost:30000

Validation

Check the Redis logs after making the changes to ensure that the warning about the default user not requiring a password does not appear. Additionally, confirm that your application connects successfully without errors.
