Asked by Paul
I deployed a managed redis database on digitalocean and want to connect to the database from an app which need the CA certificate, tls certificate, and tls KEY. No way from the control panel to find those certificates and key file. I can use openssl s_client to get the certificate without problem. But how can I get the private key file used for the managed redis cluster?

Hello,
Usually, the private key and the certificate file should not be needed for authentication to the managed instances.
You can follow the steps here on how to connect over TLS:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/databases/redis/how-to/connect/#connect-to-the-database
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-connect-to-managed-redis-over-tls-with-stunnel-and-redis-cli
In the app that you are using, there should be a way to specify that the authentication method to your Redis cluster is a password and not a private + public key.
Best,
Bobby
