Summary
Enabling encrypted connections on a server is crucial for secure communication between clients and servers. In this tutorial, we walk through an easy three-step process to turn on, test, and configure encrypted connections between Redis Enterprise Cloud and a Python client using SSL. The steps involve enabling SSL for the database, generating a certificate for the client, testing the SSL connection with OpenSSL s_client command, and modifying the client code to establish SSL connections. We also discuss the importance of mutual authentication between clients and servers, as well as the use of public-key cryptography in SSL.
