WRONGPASS invalid username-password pair or user is disabled when connect to redis 6.0+

Question

I am tried to connect redis 6.0+, this is the Python celery redis broker url I am config now:

broker_url = redis://:default:[email protected]:6379/5
celery_result_backend = redis://:default:12345[email protected]:6379/5

but when I start the celery using this command:

root@pydolphin-service-6fc4b98f54-msfql:~/pydolphin# celery -A dolphin.tasks.tasks worker --loglevel=INFO -n worker2 -Q non_editor_pick_and_diff_pull --concurrency 2
/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/celery/platforms.py:834: SecurityWarning: You're running the worker with superuser privileges: this is
absolutely not recommended!

Please specify a different user using the --uid option.

^C
worker: Hitting Ctrl+C again will terminate all running tasks!

I am sure the user name and password correct because I could login redis using the redis-cli command. where is the problem and what should I do to fix it?

Answer 1

It was probably the ":" before the username in the URL. Should have been

redis://default:123456@cruise-redis...

The case when you might use a leading colon in the URL is when connecting with a password but no username. Then it would look like this:

redis://:somepass@host...
