Configuring DCS Redis ACL Users

Notes and Constraints

• By default, this function is supported by DCS Redis 4.0/5.0 instances.
• Temporarily, this function is restricted for DCS Redis 6.0 instances. To enable it, submit a ticket and contact customer service. If the instance is earlier than v6.2.10.4, upgrade the minor version. For details, see Upgrading Minor or Proxy Versions of a DCS Instance.
• Up to 18 users can be created for each instance.
• Currently, ACL users support read/write and read-only permissions.

Configuring DCS Redis ACL Users

1. Log in to the DCS console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the console and select the region where your instance is located.
3. In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.
4. Click an instance.
5. Choose User Management in the navigation pane.

   The user whose username is default is the instance's default user. The default user has read and write permissions and their password is the instance's password.

6. Click Create User.
   

   A password-free Redis instance can only be accessed by the default user. Normal users are invalid. To use a normal user, click Reset Password in the row containing the default user to disable Password Protected for the default user.

7. In the displayed Create User dialog box, enter the username and password.
8. Select Read-only or Read/Write for permissions, and set the password and description.
9. Click OK.

Connecting to an Instance as an ACL User

A normal ACL user connects to an instance with password {username:password}.

• When using redis-cli to connect to an instance, the default user runs the following command:

  ./redis-cli -h {dcs_instance_address} -p 6379 -a {password}

• A normal ACL user runs the following command:

  ./redis-cli -h {dcs_instance_address} -p 6379 -a {username:password}

More Operations

The following operations can be performed on normal users.
