Redis Connections

Redis connection commands are used to control and manage client connections with Redis Server.

Example

Following example explains how a client authenticates itself to Redis server and checks whether the server is running or not.

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH "password"
(error) ERR Client sent AUTH, but no password is set
redis 127.0.0.1:6379>
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> PING
PONG
redis 127.0.0.1:6379>

Note: Here you can see that "password" is not set so you can access any command directly.
