# Redis

You can use the Redis connector from the CData Sync application to capture data
from Redis and move it to any supported destination. To do so, you need to add
the connector, authenticate to the connector, and complete your connection.

## Add the Redis Connector

To enable Sync to use data from Redis, you first must add the
connector, as follows:

<ol>
  <li>Open the **Connections** page of the Sync dashboard.</li>
  <li>Click **Add Connection** to open the **Select Connectors** page.</li>
  <li>Click the **Sources** tab and locate
  the **Redis** row.</li>

  <li>
    Click the **Configure Connection** icon at the end of that row to open
    the **New Connection** page. This action opens the
    **Add Connection** dialog.

    **Note:** If the **Configure Connection** icon is not
    available, click the **Download Connector** icon to install
    the Redis connector.
  </li>

  <li>Enter a name for your connection in the **Add Connection** dialog.</li>
  <li>Click **Add** to open the **Settings** tab for your connector.</li>
</ol>

For more information about installing new connectors, see
[Connections](https://docs.sync.cdata.com/26.4/en/connections/connections.md).

## Authenticate to Redis

After you add the connector, you need to set the required properties.

* **Server:** Enter the host name or IP address of the server that hosts your Redis instance.
* **Port:** Enter the port number for the Redis database. The default port is **6379**.

CData Sync supports authenticating to Redis in several ways. Select your authentication method below to proceed to the relevant section that contains the authentication details.

* [**Password**](#password)
* [**Access Control List**](#access-control-list)
* [**None**](#none)

### Password

To connect with a user password, specify the following settings:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **Password**.
* **Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Redis account.

### Access Control List

To connect with Access Control List credentials, specify the following settings:

* **Auth Scheme:** Select **ACL**.
* **User:** Enter the username that you use to authenticate to your Redis ACL.
* **Password:** Enter the password that you use to authenticate to your Redis ACL.

### None

To connect without authentication, select **None** for **Auth Scheme**. No additional properties are required.

## Complete Your Connection

To complete your connection:

1. Specify the following properties:
   * **Logical Database:** Enter the index number for the Redis Logical Database. The default number is **0**.
   * **Replica Set:** Enter one or more servers in addition to the one that you configured earlier in the **Server** and **Port** fields. Specify both a server name and port and separate servers with a comma (for example, *ServerURL1*:*Port*,*ServerURL2*:*Port*).
   * **Enable Cluster:** Select whether you want to enable Redis cluster mode. By default, the **Enable** checkbox is not selected.
   * **Use SSL:** Select whether you want to enable Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). By default, the **Enable** checkbox is not selected.
2. Define advanced connection settings on the **Advanced** tab. (In most cases, though, you should not need these settings.)
3. Click **Create & Test** to create your connection.
