Jedis connection in Spring fails to authenticate on Redis

Question

I have a spring boot application connecting to Redis via tls and password.

I'm using the following configuration to instantiate the RedistTemplate and JedisConnection

 @Bean
  JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
     RedisStandaloneConfiguration conf = new RedisStandaloneConfiguration(host,port);
     conf.setPassword(RedisPassword.of("myPassword"));
     JedisConnectionFactory jedisConFactory = null;
     JedisClientConfiguration confJedis = JedisClientConfiguration.builder().useSsl().build();
     jedisConFactory =  new JedisConnectionFactory(conf,confJedis);
     //jedisConFactory.setPassword("myPassword");
     return jedisConFactory;
  }


 @Bean
  public RedisTemplate<String, Object> redisTemplate() {
      RedisTemplate<String, Object> template = new RedisTemplate<>();
      template.setConnectionFactory(jedisConnectionFactory());
      return template;
  }

I receive the following error:

class org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessApiUsageExceptionNOAUTH Authentication required.; nested exception is redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisDataException: NOAUTH Authentication required.

Which seems to be an error from Redis not receiving a password.

Before enabling TLS configuration on redis I was using this configuration:

  @Bean
  JedisConnectionFactory jedisConnectionFactory() {
     RedisStandaloneConfiguration conf = new RedisStandaloneConfiguration(host,port);
     conf.setPassword(RedisPassword.of("myPassword"));
     JedisConnectionFactory jedisConFactory = null;
     jedisConFactory =  new JedisConnectionFactory(conf);
     return jedisConFactory;
  }

And it was working just fine. So something in "how" I set the password in the Jedis configuration with TLS is not working, I even used the deprecated method (commented in the snippet above):

//jedisConFactory.setPassword("myPassword");

to see if it may work but without success.

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong ?

I had the same problem and fixed it by adding .and().usePooling() to the code as follows:

JedisClientConfiguration confJedis = JedisClientConfiguration.builder().useSsl().and().usePooling().build();
