Redis: Connection and Authentication #1323

Closed balhar-jakub closed 3 years ago

balhar-jakub commented 3 years ago

The connections aren't closed properly at the moment and we need to fix that. Another part is to explore the options in Redis for authentication as this is part of the connection and ideally remove credentials from the communication.

[x] Properly close connection
[x] Implement SSL support
[x] Investigate option to not include credentials as part of communication - password is part of uri to connect
[x] Implement sentinel authentication

balhar-jakub commented 3 years ago

It seems that the Sentinel supports only Username/Password for sentinels authentication. And it is supported from version 6.2 which we actually work with but it may be an issue for the zOS Redis deployment.
