This is a session provider. By default Authelia uses an in-memory provider. Not configuring redis leaves Authelia stateful. It's important in highly available scenarios to configure this option and we highly recommend it in production environments. It requires you setup redis as well.

Configuration

{{< config-alert-example >}}

Options

This section describes the individual configuration options.

host

{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}

The redis host or unix socket path. If utilising an IPv6 literal address it must be enclosed by square brackets and quoted:

host: "[fd00:1111:2222:3333::1]"

port

{{< confkey type="integer" default="6379" required="no" >}}

The port redis is listening on.

username

{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}

The username for redis authentication. Only supported in redis 6.0+, and redis currently offers backwards compatibility with password-only auth. You probably do not need to set this unless you went through the process of setting up redis ACLs.

password

{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}

Important Note: This can also be defined using a secret which is strongly recommended especially for containerized deployments.

The password for redis authentication.

It's strongly recommended this is a Random Alphanumeric String with 64 or more characters and the user password is changed to this value.

database_index

{{< confkey type="integer" default="0" required="no" >}}

The index number of the redis database, the same value as specified with the redis SELECT command.

maximum_active_connections

{{< confkey type="integer" default="8" required="no" >}}

The maximum connections open to redis at the same time.

minimum_idle_connections

{{< confkey type="integer" default="0" required="no" >}}

The minimum number of redis connections to keep open as long as they don't exceed the maximum active connections. This is useful if there are long delays in establishing connections.

tls

Reference Note: This configuration option uses the TLS configuration common structure. Please see the documentation on this structure for more information.

If defined enables connecting to redis over a TLS socket, and additionally controls the TLS connection validation parameters.

high_availability

When defining this session it enables redis sentinel connections. It's possible in the future we may add redis cluster.

sentinel_name

{{< confkey type="string" required="yes" >}}

The redis sentinel master name. This is defined in your redis sentinel configuration, it is not a hostname. This must be defined currently for a high availability configuration.

sentinel_username

{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}

The username for the redis sentinel connection. If this is provided, it will be used along with the sentinel_password for ACL-based authentication to the Redis Sentinel. If only a password is provided, the redis sentinel connection will be authenticated with traditional requirepass authentication.

sentinel_password

{{< confkey type="string" required="no (yes if sentinel_username is supplied)" >}}

Important Note: This can also be defined using a secret which is strongly recommended especially for containerized deployments.

The password for the redis sentinel connection. If specified with sentinel_username, configures Authelia to authenticate to the Redis Sentinel with ACL-based authentication. Otherwise, this is used for requirepass authentication.

It's strongly recommended this is a Random Alphanumeric String with 64 or more characters and the user password is changed to this value.

nodes

A list of redis sentinel nodes to load balance over. This list is added to the host in the redis section above. It is required you either define the redis host or one redis sentinel node. The redis host must be a redis sentinel host, not a regular one. The individual redis hosts are determined using redis sentinel commands.

Each node has a host and port configuration. Example:

- host: redis-sentinel-0
  port: 26379
host

{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}

The host of this redis sentinel node.

port

{{< confkey type="integer" default="26379" required="no" >}}

The port of this redis sentinel node.

route_by_latency

{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}

Prioritizes low latency redis sentinel nodes when set to true.

route_randomly

{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}

Randomly chooses redis sentinel nodes when set to true.
