Scenarios
Storage Engine Redis/Valkey Edition supports two authentication methods: password-based access and password-free access. Users can choose flexibly based on their business security requirements.
Password Authentication: suitable for production environments with high security requirements, ensuring data access security through password authentication.
Password-Free Authentication: suitable for secure and controllable private network environments (such as the internal test environment of a VPC), simplifying the connection process.
Note:
To protect core data security, the system defaults to and recommends using password authentication. It is not recommended to enable the feature that requires no password. If you still need to enable this feature after evaluation, it is recommended to build an access allowlist by configuring security group rules to implement fine-grained control over the IP address range that can access the instance, thereby effectively blocking potential security threats.
Memcached Edition only supports password-free access and does not support password authentication or creating new accounts.
Differences in Password-Free Access
The password-free authentication method of Tencent Cloud Distributed Cache differs from that of the Redis Community Edition:
Scenario | Tencent Cloud Distributed Cache | Redis Community Edition |
After password-free access is enabled, the password in the access parameters is empty. | Verification failed. | Verification succeeded. |
