# 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)

* Database connection

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.
