I get the error:

(error) NOAUTH Authentication required.

When in redis-cli and trying to display the KEYS *. I've only set a requirepass not an auth afaiac. I'm in the redis.conf but do not know what to do.

Setting the requirepass configuration directive causes the server to require password authentication with the AUTH command before sending other commands. The redis.conf file states that clearly:

Require clients to issue AUTH before processing any other
commands. This might be useful in environments in which you do not trust
others with access to the host running redis-server.

  1. Make sure you have redis-cli installed.
  2. Just use following command.

    redis-cli -h host.domain.com -p port -a yourpassword

3

comment requirepass (line 480 mostly) in redis.conf file if uncommented.

    Usually have a password for security, probably best to provide a solution than enables the ability to put in the password Apr 23, 2020 at 7:48

specific your redis password in the redis-cli command line eg:

redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -a "$your_password"

check your $your_password.

It's recommend to add double quote to the password on the command line.

  • The flag is incorrect here it should -a or --pass for the password.

NOAUTH requires to authenticate via AUTH method before executing any get/set/etc. call, in predis that can be done via the auth() method, for example:

    $predisClient->auth('username', 'password');
