# connect redis
Command: `boundary connect redis`
The `connect redis` command authorizes a session against a target and invokes a Redis client for the connection.
The command fills in the local address and port.
@include 'cmd-connect-env-vars.mdx'
## Examples
The following example shows how to connect to a target with the ID `ttcp_eTcZMueUYv` using a Redis helper:
```shell-session
$ boundary connect redis -target-id=ttcp_eTcZMueUYv \
-username=superuser
```
When prompted, you must enter the password for the user, "superuser":

```plaintext
Please input password:
127.0.0.1:60835>
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
## Usage
<CodeBlockConfig hideClipboard>
```shell-session
$ boundary connect redis [options] [args]
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
@include 'cmd-connect-command-options.mdx'
### Redis options:
- `-style` `(string: "")` - How the CLI attempts to invoke a Redis client.
This value also sets a suitable default for `-exec`, if you did not specify a value.
The default and currently-understood value is `redis-cli`.
You can also specify how the CLI attempts to invoke a Redis client using the **BOUNDARY_CONNECT_REDIS_STYLE** environment variable.
- `-username` `(string: "")` - The username you want to pass through to the client.
This value may be overridden by credentials sourced from a credential store.
You can also specify a username using the **BOUNDARY_CONNECT_USERNAME** environment variable.
