Redis [QUESTION] how to auth default user with nopass attr in redis-6.0 acl

Comment From: tomatostranger

I'm experiencing ACL feature in redis-6.0, how can I auth default user with nopass attr, since acl whoami command shows that another user (let's say test_user) is in currenct connection.

You can do "auth default anything" and it will switch back to the default user. It's worth noting that anything can literally be anything. You just need to have 3 arguments. When a user has the nopass attribute, it assumes any password is valid for the provided user.

I'll add it's recommended to disable the nopass part of the default user, since that is not a very secure configuration.

Gotcha! Thanks for your reply

Alternatively, you can also AUTH "" and thus use the previous invocation form (which will default to the "default" user).
