How are you connecting? You should be able to connect with redis-cli with or without a password but the only command you’ll be able to use if you don’t provide a password is the AUTH command.

3

redis-cli -h HOSTNAME -p PORT

This is the command I use and I am able to connect. My query is, why redis is not asking for password prompt OR why i am not denied. See below is for reference

I got a different way to do this. Instead of directly editing the redis.conf file I went to redis-cli and then configure the setting like replicaof or bind or etc. After that I ran the command CONFIG REWRITE to make it permanent. This solves my problem means it make the configuration permanent
