Infisical supports the use of Username & Password authentication to connect with Redis databases

## Configure a Redis user for Infisical 

<Steps>
    <Step title="Create a Redis user">
        Infisical recommends creating a designated user in your Redis database for your connection.

        ```bash
        ACL SETUSER user_manager on >[ENTER-YOUR-USER-PASSWORD]
        ```
    </Step>

    <Step title="Grant Relevant Permissions">
        Depending on how you intend to use your Redis connection, you'll need to grant one or more of the following permissions.

        <Tip>
            To learn more about Redis's permission system, please visit their [documentation](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/management/security/acl/).

            <Tab title="Secret Rotation">
                For Secret Rotations, your Infisical user will require the ability to set and delete users:

                ```bash
                ACL SETUSER user_manager +acl|setuser +acl|deluser ~*
                ```
            </Tab>
        </Tabs>
    </Step>
