Redis upstream auth password

[Eugene]

Hi all!

We're trying to use Envoy proxy as loadbalancer before Redis instances. Without auth options all works as expected. But with enabled auth in upstream servers redis client issues error "(error) NOAUTH Authentication required." Config section looks like:

typed_extension_protocol_options:

      envoy.filters.network.redis_proxy:

        "@type": type.googleapis.com/envoy.extensions.filters.network.redis_proxy.v3.RedisProtocolOptions

        auth_password:

          inline_string: "password"

How to write right auth option for Redis? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If it matters we're using Redis 6 version.

there are two parts of auth in redis proxy.

one in redis proxy filter,and the other is for the upstream cluster.

in your configuration, auth_password were mean for upstream cluster(in matter of envoy itself).

it has nothing to do with the downstream redis client authentication.

downstream authentication is done by envoy ,and not handled upward to upstream.(see downstream_auth_password config)
