Build 25.0.9434

Connection String Options

The connection string properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure in the connection string for this provider. Click the links for further details.

For more information on connecting, see Establishing a Connection.

Authentication


PropertyDescription
AuthSchemeThe authentication mechanism that the provider will use to authenticate with Redis.
ServerThe host name or IP address of the server hosting the Redis instance.
PortThe port for the Redis database.
LogicalDatabaseThe index of the Redis Logical Database.
UserThe username provided for authentication with Redis ACL.
PasswordThe password used to authenticate with Redis.
EnableClusterThis field sets whether the Redis Cluster Mode is enabled.
UseSSLThis field sets whether SSL is enabled.
ReplicaSetThis property allows you to specify multiple servers in addition to the one configured in Server and Port . Specify both a server name and port; separate servers with a comma.

Connection


PropertyDescription
DefineTablesDefine the tables exposed by the provider using table names and Redis key patterns.
PatternSeparatorDefine the table pattern's delimiter.
ReaderEndpointsThe slave hosts and port array, which indicates the Redis Master/Slave cluster's slave instances, are split by a comma.
TablePatternDefine the tables exposed by the provider using Redis key patterns.

SSL


PropertyDescription
SSLClientCertSpecifies the TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL). This property works in conjunction with other SSL-related properties to establish a secure connection.
SSLClientCertTypeSpecifies the type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate for SSL Client Authentication. Choose from a variety of key store formats depending on your platform and certificate source.
SSLClientCertPasswordSpecifes the password required to access the TLS/SSL client certificate store. Use this property if the selected certificate store type requires a password for access.
SSLClientCertSubjectSpecifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store.
SSLStartModeThis property determines how the provider starts the SSL negotiation.
SSLServerCertSpecifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

SSH


PropertyDescription
SSHAuthModeThe authentication method used when establishing an SSH Tunnel to the service.
SSHClientCertA certificate to be used for authenticating the SSHUser.
SSHClientCertPasswordThe password of the SSHClientCert key if it has one.
SSHClientCertSubjectThe subject of the SSH client certificate.
SSHClientCertTypeThe type of SSHClientCert private key.
SSHServerThe SSH server.
SSHPortThe SSH port.
SSHUserThe SSH user.
SSHPasswordThe SSH password.
SSHServerFingerprintThe SSH server fingerprint.
UseSSHWhether to tunnel the Redis connection over SSH. Use SSH.

Firewall


PropertyDescription
FirewallTypeSpecifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallServerIdentifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources.
FirewallPortSpecifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallUserIdentifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallPasswordSpecifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall.

Logging


PropertyDescription
LogfileSpecifes the file path to the log file where the provider records its activities, such as authentication, query execution, and connection details.
VerbositySpecifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.
LogModulesSpecifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.
MaxLogFileSizeSpecifies the maximum size of a single log file in bytes. For example, '10 MB'. When the file reaches the limit, the provider creates a new log file with the date and time appended to the name.
MaxLogFileCountSpecifies the maximum number of log files the provider retains. When the limit is reached, the oldest log file is deleted to make space for a new one.

Schema


PropertyDescription
LocationSpecifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path.
BrowsableSchemasOptional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
TablesOptional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC .
ViewsOptional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC .

Caching


PropertyDescription
AutoCacheSpecifies whether the content of tables targeted by SELECT queries is automatically cached to the specified cache database.
CacheProviderThe namespace of an ADO.NET provider. The specified provider is used as the target database for all caching operations.
CacheConnectionSpecifies the connection string for the specified cache database.
CacheLocationSpecifies the path to the cache when caching to a file.
CacheToleranceNotes the tolerance, in seconds, for stale data in the specified cache database. Requires AutoCache to be set to True.
OfflineGets the data from the specified cache database instead of live Redis data.
CacheMetadataDetermines whether the provider caches table metadata to a file-based cache database.

Miscellaneous


PropertyDescription
BatchSizeSpecifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch submitted during batch operations. To submit the entire batch as a single request, set BatchSize to 0 .
ConnectionLifeTimeSpecifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection.
IgnoreTypeErrorsRemoves support for the specified data types and ignores casting exceptions for those types.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases., to be used only when our Support team advises it, to address specific issues. See Remarks for details.
ParallelModeThis option sets whether the provider should use multiple connections when connecting to Redis.
PoolIdleTimeoutSpecifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed. Requires UseConnectionPooling=True.
PoolMaxSizeSpecifies the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool.
PoolMinSizeSpecifies the minimum number of connections to be maintained in the connection pool at all times.
PoolWaitTimeSpecifies the maximum number of seconds a connection request waits for an available connection in the pool. If the wait exceeds this time, an error is returned.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.
QueryTimeoutThe timeout in seconds for which the provider will wait for the query response. The default value is -1, which indicates the provider should never time out.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to Redis from the provider.
RowScanDepthThe maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table.
RTKSpecifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. This property is only required in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key.
TableScanDepthThe maximum number of keys to scan when looking for tables available in your Redis database.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
UseConnectionPoolingEnables the connection pooling feature, which allows the provider to reuse existing connections instead of creating new ones for each request.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
