# Enable AUTH for secure Nutrient Workflow and Redis setup

The following configuration files will allow you to utilize AUTH in connectivity between the Nutrient Workflow application and the redis server.

1. **Configure the redis server**

   Change your redis.conf file to include the following line:

   ```

   requirepass "thisisthepw"
   ```

   Make sure you swap "thisisthepw" with your desired password

2. **Configure Nutrient Workflow**

   Change your integirfy\app\webserver\server-config.json, adding password: thisisthepw to the redis section similar to the following:

   ```json

   redis : {
      "address" : "127.0.0.1",
      "port" : 6379,
      "password" : "thisisthepw"
   },
   ```

   Configure your nutrient workflow\app\settings\settings.config file, adding the following appkey:

   ```xml

   <add key="redis_password" value="thisisthepw" />
   ```

   Again, make sure you swap "thisisthepw" with your desired password

3. If your redis server is remote to the Nutrient Workflow application server, restart redis for the config file changes to take effect

4. Restart nutrient workflow using the OnPremise Manager for the Nutrient Workflow application changes to take effect.
