AUTH to authenticate the current connection, with a password alone or with a username and password when ACL users are configured.
Until the connection is authenticated the server rejects other commands with an error. Client libraries usually send AUTH for you as part of connecting when the credentials are part of the connection string, so applications rarely call it directly. The password is sent to the server on every connection, which is why Upstash endpoints use TLS.
Syntax
Arguments
Important points
- This is a connection-oriented command and is available over native Redis TCP, not the stateless REST endpoint.
Response
The reply reports the result of the operation. Error replies have the same shape in RESP2 and RESP3 and are surfaced as exceptions by the SDKs below.Client libraries often decode bulk strings, maps, sets, and numeric strings into language-native values. The table describes the Redis wire reply.
Examples
TCP examples use the TLSREDIS_URL from the Upstash console. REST examples use UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN.
