# Redis credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [Redis](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.redis.md)
* [Redis Chat Memory](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/sub-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.memoryredischat.md)
* [Redis Vector Store](/integrations/builtin/cluster-nodes/root-nodes/n8n-nodes-langchain.vectorstoreredis.md)

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* Database connection

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [Redis's developer documentation](https://redis.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html) for more information about the service.

## Using database connection <a href="#using-database-connection" id="using-database-connection"></a>

You'll need a user account on a [Redis](https://redis.io/) server and:

* A **Password**
* The **Host** name
* The **Port** number
* A **Database Number**
* **SSL**

To configure this credential:

1. Enter your user account **Password**.
2. Enter the **Host** name of the Redis server. The default is `localhost`.
3. Enter the **Port** number the connection should use. The default is `6379`.
   * This number should match the `tcp_port` listed when you run the `INFO` command.
4. Enter the **Database Number**. The default is `0`.
5. If the connection should use SSL, turn on the **SSL** toggle. If this toggle is off, the connection uses TCP only.
6. If you enable **SSL**, you have the option to **disable TLS verification**. Toggle to use self-signed certificates. WARNING: This makes the connection less secure.

Refer to [Connecting to Redis | Generic client](https://redis.readthedocs.io/en/stable/connections.html) for more information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/redis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
