Hello Team,

Use case:

We have the AMR provisioned in the customer tenant that has the UAMI assigned and the Entra Auth assinged with the same UAMI.

We need to connect from the NodeJS app hosted in AKS that has its own UAMI has the required permssion to access the AMR.

But we are still getting: NOAUTH Authentication required if we use the @redis/entraid package and getting the error "WRONGPASS invalid username-password pair" with the ioredis package.

Kindly confirm the Entra ID part for the Balanced_B0 with OSSCluster policy

Thanks and Regards,

Shailesh

    Whenever we need to connect to AMR from AKS pod, make sure we should add the AKS associated UAMI as a redis user under the Authentication of the AMR.

    Get the username created for the UAMI from the azure portal under the "Authentication" tab.

    Use the same username during the redis client creation. This will make sure the connection is established using the proper username and password. Here password is the token generated for redis scope: "https://redis.azure.com/.default" from the identity package.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Shailesh
