Redis Accounts - Infisical

Redis accounts let you manage access to your Redis databases. Users connect through Web Access (a browser-based interface) or CLI (a local proxy), and every session is recorded.

Creating an Account

<Steps> <Step title="Start adding an account"> Go to **Privileged Access Management → Accounts** and click **Add Account**. </Step> <Step title="Select a folder and template"> Choose which [folder](/documentation/platform/pam/folders/overview) to add the account to, then select a Redis [template](/documentation/platform/pam/templates/overview). </Step> <Step title="Enter connection details"> | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | **Name** | A descriptive name (e.g., `cache-primary`) | | **Host** | Redis host | | **Port** | Redis port (default: 6379) | | **SSL Enabled** | Enable SSL/TLS for the connection | | **Reject Unauthorized** | Reject connections with invalid certificates (only if SSL enabled) | | **SSL Certificate** | Custom CA certificate (only if SSL enabled) | </Step> <Step title="Enter credentials"> | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | **Username** | Redis ACL username. Use `default` for the default user (also works with a legacy `requirepass` password on Redis 6+) | | **Password** | Redis password. Optional, leave blank for an unauthenticated Redis server | </Step> <Step title="Save"> Click **Create**. </Step> </Steps>

Connecting

<Tabs> <Tab title="Web Access"> Web Access provides a browser-based Redis console where you type commands the same way you would in `redis-cli`.

To connect:
1. Go to **Privileged Access Management → Accounts**
2. Find the account and click the rocket icon (or select **Launch Session** from the menu)
3. Click **Connect in Browser**

Type `quit` or `exit` to end the session.

Web Access is built for interactive use. Very long replies are shortened, and commands that stream results, such as `SUBSCRIBE` and `MONITOR`, are only available through the CLI.

</Tab> <Tab title="CLI"> The CLI starts a local proxy that you connect to with your preferred Redis client.

```bash
infisical pam access my-folder/cache-primary
```

The command outputs the local port to connect to. Then use `redis-cli` or any Redis client:
```bash
redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p <port>
```

No password needed since the proxy handles authentication.

**Flags:**
- `--port <port>` — use a specific local port (otherwise one is assigned automatically)
- `--reason <reason>` — provide an access reason (if required by template)
