Encrypted connection to Redis #17

Closed pierrefar closed 6 years ago

pierrefar commented 6 years ago

Hello

I'm looking at connecting to Redis with the data encrypted in transit. One public example would be using AWS Elasticache as the Redis backend with the feature enabled as described here.

It doesn't appear to be possible to configure this kind of encryption for permissions2. Is that correct or did I miss something? If yes, can you please consider adding support for this functionality? If not, can we have a code example?

Speaking of which, the code examples are great and much appreciated!

Thanks, Pierre

Hi Perre,

Thank you for the suggestion. I looked over the article you linked to, but could not find anything I can do to make permissions2 better adjusted for this.

I might be wrong, but to me it looks like "Amazon ElastiCache for Redis In-Transit Encryption" operates on a layer above and outside of the redis server/clients that communicate, and that the redis-related software should just communicate as usual.

I'm glad the code examples were appreciated. I always prefer code examples myself, when testing out a new Go package.

Best regards, Alexander
