Redis Credentials Rotation

Learn how to automatically rotate Redis credentials.

Prerequisites

1. Create a Redis Connection with the required Secret Rotation permissions
2. Ensure your network security policies allow incoming requests from Infisical to this rotation provider, if network restrictions apply.

Create a Redis Credentials Rotation in Infisical

Infisical UI

1. Navigate to your Secret Manager Project’s Dashboard and select Add Secret Rotation from the actions dropdown.

   

2. Select the Redis Credentials option.

   

3. Select the Redis Connection to use and configure the rotation behavior. Then click Next.

   
   • Redis Connection - the connection that will perform the rotation of the configured database user credentials.
   • Rotation Interval - the interval, in days, that once elapsed will trigger a rotation.
   • Rotate At - the local time of day when rotation should occur once the interval has elapsed.
   • Auto-Rotation Enabled - whether secrets should automatically be rotated once the rotation interval has elapsed. Disable this option to manually rotate secrets or pause secret rotation.

4. Input the password requirements and permission scope for the Redis users that will be created for the rotation. Then click Next.

   
   • Permission Scope - The scope of the Redis users that will be created for the rotation. This will default to ~* +@all if not specified.
   • Password Requirements - The requirements for the password of the Redis users that will be created for the rotation.

5. Specify the secret names that the active credentials should be mapped to. Then click Next.

   
   • Username - the name of the secret that the active username will be mapped to.
   • Password - the name of the secret that the active password will be mapped to.

6. Give your rotation a name and description (optional). Then click Next.

   
   • Name - the name of the secret rotation configuration. Must be slug-friendly.
   • Description (optional) - a description of this rotation configuration.

7. Review your configuration, then click Create Secret Rotation.

   

8. Your Redis Credentials are now available for use via the mapped secrets.
