Secure communication with Redis server using SSL

[dev-konrad]

Hi,

I've been using your library for a while in a project connecting to clustered Redis - it works nice - many thanks for this code.
However, at this point, we need to introduce secure communication, about which I haven't seen anything in examples or tutorial.
Is there a way to do it?

Thanks,
Konrad

Do you mean supporting SSL communication with Redis server ? If so, I think I can add it in the future. There're SSL module in acl library including polarssl_conf/polarssl_io(need the polarssl) which can used for supporting SSL communication.

Yes, exactly that.
Yeah, I saw polarssl too, when browsing the code. Do you think it's a lot of work to implement it?
For now I think I'll go for stunnel solution as I don't have much time to wait.

Thanks,
Konrad

It's easy for me to add it to redis, because the polarssl wrapper in acl is powerful and easy to use. I'll add it to acl redis.

SSL communication has been supported in acl redis client. You can see the sample in https://github.com/acl-dev/acl/tree/master/lib_acl_cpp/samples/redis/redis_ssl. And the specified polarssl used by acl lib can be found in https://github.com/acl-dev/third_party.
After you've compiled the sample, you can run "./redis -s 127.0.0.1:6379 -c -S ./libpolarssl.so -a set" where the flag "-S" should be set to the ssl libpath.

WOW, that was fast! Thanks so much.
I wasn't replying to you, but I'm already working on trying this out in my setup.
I should have a result this week - will let you know how it works.

Thanks,
Konrad
