Description
Overview
Part of Phase 3 roadmap - improve user experience for authentication configuration.
Context
Currently users need to configure authentication through:
- Environment variables (REDIS_CLOUD_API_KEY, REDIS_ENTERPRISE_URL, etc.)
- Profile configuration files
- Command-line flags
This can be confusing compared to the typical curl nightmare they're used to. We need to make this more user-friendly.
Tasks
- Audit current configuration flow for both Cloud and Enterprise
- Document all authentication methods and their precedence
- Identify pain points in current setup
- Create interactive setup wizard for first-time users
- Add validation and helpful error messages for auth issues
- Support common authentication patterns (OAuth, API tokens, certificates)
- Add 'redisctl auth test' command to verify credentials
Acceptance Criteria
- Users can easily set up authentication on first use
- Clear error messages guide users to fix auth issues
- Documentation clearly explains all auth methods
- Interactive setup available for new users
