## Describe the problem/error/question

I have a current Redis connection that works, it does not require a user, but we migrated to another Redis that provided us with a user and password, but the connector does not have the option to insert the user, we have tried to put in the password field like this: user-password, user:password and nothing works.-

WRONGPASs invalid username-password pair

We have raised an internal request with our engineering team to have Redis client upgraded to be able to support usernames in Redis credentials. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
