How do I set up a Redis client with SSL?

To set up a Redis client with SSL, you'll need to configure your Redis server to support SSL connections and then adjust your client settings accordingly.

What configuration changes do I need to make on the Redis server?

You need to enable SSL in your Redis configuration file by setting tls-port and tls-cert-file, among other options.

Can you provide an example of the configuration file?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

tls-port 6379
port 0

# Specify the certificate and key files
tls-cert-file /path/to/your/cert.pem
tls-key-file /path/to/your/key.pem

Make sure to replace the paths with your actual certificate and key file locations.

What about the client-side configuration?

On the client side, you need to specify the SSL options when connecting. For example, in Python with redis-py, you can do:

import redis

client = redis.StrictRedis(
    host='your_redis_host',
    port=6379,
    ssl=True,
    ssl_certfile='/path/to/your/cert.pem',
    ssl_keyfile='/path/to/your/key.pem'
)
