External redis authentication required

[kielhyre]

Hi, new here

I deployed redis and tried to open an external port but upon using with the command celery -A config worker --beat --scheduler django --loglevel=info. It states that

Secure redis scheme specified (rediss) with no ssl options, defaulting to insecure SSL behaviour.
…
consumer: Cannot connect to rediss://red-myname:**@singapore-redis.render.com:6379//: Authentication required…

Note myname i delete the code there to at least avoid u know.

Anyway it seems I cannot connect, idk if it was a wrong format or wrong crendentials?
Any fixes or alternative ?

update: i turn on BROKER_USE_SSL in my django settings now the first error dissappear but the consumer: … still remains.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’m not seeing any issues with connections to the Redis instance in your account.

Are you able to provide some more logs/details around how you’re trying to connect to Redis?

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your fast reply. So far I tried some external redis (for testing) it seems I find it to work in external using redis:// not a rediss:// now I wonder if rediss:// causes the issue.

on my config vars it was

BROKER_URL:  <redis>

on my settings.py. Maybe theres a problem here since it was a SSL connection.

BROKER_URL = os.environ.get('BROKER_URL', '')

BROKER_TRANSPORT_OPTIONS = {'visibility_timeout': 7200} # 2 hours

CELERY_DEFAULT_QUEUE = 'default'

CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'db+{}'.format(DEFAULT_DB)

CELERY_QUEUES = (
    Queue('default', routing_key='default'),
    Queue('external', routing_key='external'),
)

another point to consider maybe my requirements.txt on redis is outdated?

celery==4.4.2
kombu==4.6.8
django-celery-beat==2.0.0
django-celery-results==1.2.1
redis==3.4.1

Or do i missing some docs that it was not allowed redis to be externally used?

update i tried this on my settings.py

import ssl

BROKER_USE_SSL = {
    'ssl_cert_reqs': ssl.CERT_REQUIRED,
}

It stops in defaulting to redis://

But the authentication required still logging

celery -A config worker --beat

I wonder now if it was the password or the host having the problem.

Update #2
I tried to instantiated another redis from other region to change host. Still Authentication required.

Thanks again.

There are a couple of things that might be as play here:

• Your redis package looks quite old, the current version 4.3.4 Maybe the issue you’re having is fixed in a more recent version?

• If your connecting service is in the same account & region as your Redis instance, you can use the internal connection string, listed on the Redis instance.

We also have a working Celery example, which currently uses the Python redis package 4.2.2, which may be worth reviewing to see how your project compares.

Hope that helps

Hi,

Upon upgrading my celery, kombu, django-celery-results and redis it seems to work.

Thank you ~
