TLS support

[avrahamkam]

Is TLS supported? I don't see any documentation for how to configure it.

If I understand correctly, redis-py supports TLS (redis/redis-py#446).

I was just coming to ask this. Heroku is changing its Redis add-on and now recommends using their TLS connection. They also specifically point Django users to use django-redis-cache so I was assuming it does work... but I get ConnectionErrors about CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED when I try and use a setting like:

CACHES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "redis_cache.RedisCache",
        "LOCATION": os.environ.get("REDIS_TLS_URL"),
        "OPTIONS": {"CONNECTION_POOL_KWARGS": {"ssl_cert_reqs": None}},
    }
}

Am I doing something wrong?

[philgyford]

I'm now wondering if Heroku just got confused between django-redis and django-redis-cache, as the former seems to work OK for me with TLS.

[philgyford]

After opening a ticket with Heroku and suggesting they might have got confused, they've rewritten that bit of their docs to specify using django-redis instead of django-redis-cache.

Sorry that none of this answers your question @avrahamkam , although I'm guessing this doesn't support TLS.

Bumping. Does this library support TLS connections?

I managed to enable SSL with 'LOCATION': 'rediss://<hostname>:6379'.
