The Redis third-party authentication module has the following issues due to the fact that open-source Redis authentication reads authentication information from files:

• From a security perspective, saving passwords in configuration files is not secure and cannot meet enterprise level security requirements.
• When in cluster mode, the permission information in each instance is separate and it is not easy to maintain consistency.

Dependency

Before running the module, the following dependencies need to be installed:

• postgresql-client

Roadmap

• Support synchronizing user permission information from the postgreSQL database.
• Support synchronizing permission information from HTTP requests.

Link

• Redis: Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk.
• libpqxx: The C++ API to the PostgreSQL database management system.
