Connect To A Password Protected Redis Database

[rickshin]

It does not appear that hiredis supports connecting to a password protected hiredis database.

Authentication is done after a connection has been made, and should be done by the consumer of the API like so:

reply= redisCommand(ctx, "AUTH %s", mypass);
if (reply->type == REDIS_REPLY_ERROR) {
    /* Authentication failed */
}
freeReplyObject(reply);

Hi
The AUTH command followed by other REDIS commands work in my environment. Is the ctx associated with the password once an AUTH command is executed and it remains until it gets destroyed ?
Thanks
