Name - A name for the new connection (For example: my_local_redis)
Host - redis-server host (for example: localhost)
Port - redis-server port (for example: 6379) < a i=4> Auth - redis-server authentication password Connect to public redis-server using SSL Required if you want to connect to redis-server using SSL Enable SSL on the second tab and provide the public key in PEM format. You can find instructions for specific cloud services.
Windows Azure Redis Cache 1. Create a connection with all requested information
2. Make sure the "Use SSL Protocol" checkbox is enabled 3. Your Azure Redis connection is ready
Redis Labs
To use To connect to a Redis Labs instance with SSL/TLS encryption, please perform the following steps:
1. Make sure SSL is enabled for the Redis instance in the Redis Labs dashboard.
2. Download and unzip garantia_credentials.zip from the Redis Labs dashboard
3. Select garantia_user.crt in the "Public Key" field
4.Select garantia_user_private.key in the "Private Key" field
5.Select garantia_ca.pem in the "Permissions" field
Connect to via SSH tunnel private redis-server
basic SSH tunnel
The SSH tab should allow you to use SSH tunneling. This is useful if your redis-server is not publicly accessible over the network. To use an SSH tunnel, select the Use SSH tunnel checkbox. There are different security options: you can use a normal password or an OpenSSH private key.
For Windows users:
Your private key must be in .pem format.
Advanced SSH Tunneling If you require advanced SSH tunneling, you should manually set up an SSH tunnel and connect via localhost:
ssh SSH_HOST -L 7000:localhost:6379
How to connect to Redis ElastiCache via EC2
Follow the instructions in this blog post
How to connect to Redis ElastiCache and In-Transit Encryption via EC2 Redis Desktop Manager does not directly support UNIX sockets, but you can use local sockets to redirect to unix domain sockets, for example using socat: Use next Tab Advanced Settings to set namespace separators or other settings. Advanced connection settings socat -v tcp-l:6379,reuseaddr,fork unix:/tmp/redis.sock Connecting to UNIX sockets and then connect to Redis ElastiCache through EC2 Follow the instructions in this document section to set up stunnel on the EC2 instance Using RedisDesktopManager < 0.9.9 Click "Enable TLS-over-SSH" in the SSH connection settings
Using RedisDesktopManager> = 0.9.9
Next Step Now you can test the connection or create a connection now. Congratulations, now you are connected to the Redis server. You should see something similar to what we showed on the screen.
Click the connection and expand the key. By right-clicking, you can see the console menu and manage your connections from there.
