Password is longer than CONFIG_AUTHPASS_MAX_LEN Failed to start LSB: start and stop redis_6379. redis_6379.service: Unit entered failed state. redis_6379.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I am trying to use a 2000+ character password for redis but it appears I can't use it. How can I fix this issue?

Maybe it's not a solution, but user shorter password. 256 characters or even 128 will be enough if your are not target of Google or NASA attack.

Can never go wrong with security ;)

CONFIG_AUTHPASS_MAX_LEN is hardcoded to 512. You can't dynamically change it. Either live with this limitation or compile your own modified version of Redis (not recommended)

Why is it hardcoded to 512 in the first place? Seems like a redis limitation.

Bumping the issue. Can it be parametrized anyhow?

Comment From: madolson

It could be parameterized, but ACLs don't have that limitation, so considering this closed.
