New extension: Authentication (Redis)

The next extension for the Redis challenge is now live: Authentication.

Redis allows you to control access by requiring clients to authenticate with a password. The default user has full access with no password, but this can be restricted via configuration.

By the end of this extension, your Redis implementation will support:

  • Displaying the current user with ACL WHOAMI
  • Retrieving user details with ACL GETUSER
  • Setting passwords using ACL SETUSER
  • Authenticating clients via AUTH

Here’s the stage breakdown:

Please give this a try and let us know how it can be improved! @UdeshyaDhungana (author of this extension) and I will be available here to help out with any tester or instruction-related issues.
