Remove TLS 1.0 and 1.1 from use with Azure Cache for Redis - Azure Cache for Redis

To meet the industry-wide push toward the exclusive use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 or later, Azure Cache for Redis is moving toward requiring the use of the TLS 1.2 in April 2025. TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 are known to be susceptible to attacks such as BEAST and POODLE, and to have other Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) weaknesses.

TLS versions 1.0 and 1.1 also don't support the modern encryption methods and cipher suites recommended by Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance standards. This TLS security blog explains some of these vulnerabilities in more detail.

Important

Starting April 1, 2025, the TLS 1.2 requirement will be enforced.

Important

The TLS 1.0/1.1 retirement content in this article does not apply to Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise/Enterprise Flash because the Enterprise tiers only support TLS 1.2 or newer.

As a part of this effort, you can expect the following changes to Azure Cache for Redis:

• Phase 1: Azure Cache for Redis stops offering TLS 1.0/1.1 as an option for MinimumTLSVersion setting for new cache creates. Existing cache instances won't be updated at this point. You can't set the MinimumTLSVersion to 1.0 or 1.1 for your existing cache.
• Phase 2: Azure Cache for Redis stops supporting TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0 starting April 1, 2025. After this change, your application must use TLS 1.2 or later to communicate with your cache. The Azure Cache for Redis service remains available while we update the MinimumTLSVersion for all caches to 1.2.

As part of this change, Azure Cache for Redis removes support for older cipher suites that aren't secure. Supported cipher suites are restricted to the following suites when the cache is configured with a minimum of TLS 1.2:

• TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384_P384
• TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256_P256

The following sections provide guidance about how to detect dependencies on these earlier TLS versions and remove them from your application.

You can verify that Minimum TLS version value is set to TLS 1.2 in the Advanced settings of your cache in the Azure portal. If it is any value other than TLS 1.2, then ensure you follow the instructions in section Configure your Azure Cache for Redis to use TLS 1.2. If the value is TLS 1.2, and your client application is able to connect without any errors, then no action is needed.

You can also use this PowerShell script to verify the minimum TLS version supported by your Azure Cache for Redis endpoint. If your Redis instance is virtual network (VNet) injected, you have to run this script from a Virtual Machine in your VNet that has access to the Azure Cache for Redis endpoint. If the result shows Tls Enabled and/or Tls 11 Enabled, then ensure you follow the instructions in section Configure your Azure Cache for Redis to use TLS 1.2. If the result shows only Tls12 Enabled and your client application is able to connect without any errors, then no action is needed.

            $sslStream.WriteTimeout = $timeoutMS
            try
            {
                $sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient($redisEndpoint, $null, $ver, $false)
                Write-Host "$ver Enabled"
            }
            catch [System.IO.IOException]
            {
                $null = $_
                #Write-Host "$ver Disabled"
            }
            catch
            {
                $null = $_
                #Write-Error "Unexpected exception $_"
            }
        }
    }

You can configure TLS 1.2 on the cache by setting the Minimum TLS version value to TLS 1.2 in the Advanced settings of your cache in the Azure portal.

1. To configure your cache to use TLS 1.2, first select Advanced settings from the Resource menu of your cache.

2. Select 1.2 in the Minimum TLS version in the working pane. Then, select Save.

You can also do the same using PowerShell. You need the Az.RedisCache module already installed before running the command.

   Set-AzRedisCache -Name <YourRedisCacheName> -MinimumTlsVersion "1.2"

For setting the TLS version through CLI, the --minimum-tls-version is available only at Redis creation time and changing minimum-tls-version on an existing Redis instance isn't supported.

Note

The Azure Cache for Redis service should be available during the migration to TLS 1.2 or later.

You can find out whether your application works with TLS 1.2 by setting the Minimum TLS version value to TLS 1.2 as explained earlier, on a test or staging cache and then running tests. If the application continues to function as expected after this change, it's probably compliant. It's possible you might need to configure the Redis client library used by your application to specifically enable TLS 1.2 to connect to Azure Cache for Redis.

Most applications use Redis client libraries to handle communication with their caches. Here are instructions for configuring some of the popular client libraries, in various programming languages and frameworks, to use TLS 1.2.

Redis .NET clients use the earliest TLS version by default on .NET Framework 4.5.2 or earlier, and use the latest TLS version on .NET Framework 4.6 or later. If you're using an older version of .NET Framework, enable TLS 1.2 manually:

• StackExchange.Redis: Set ssl=true and sslProtocols=tls12 in the connection string.
• ServiceStack.Redis: Follow the ServiceStack.Redis instructions and requires ServiceStack.Redis v5.6 at a minimum.

Redis .NET Core clients default to the OS default TLS version, which depends on the OS itself.

Depending on the OS version and any patches that were applied, the effective default TLS version can vary. For more information, see Transport Layer Security (TLS) best practices with the .NET Framework.

However, if you're using an old OS or just want to be sure, we recommend configuring the preferred TLS version manually through the client.

Redis Java clients use TLS 1.0 on Java version 6 or earlier. Jedis, Lettuce, and Redisson can't connect to Azure Cache for Redis if TLS 1.0 is disabled on the cache. Upgrade your Java framework to use new TLS versions.

For Java 7, Redis clients don't use TLS 1.2 by default but can be configured for it. For example, Jedis allows you to specify the underlying TLS settings with the following code snippet:

SSLSocketFactory sslSocketFactory = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
SSLParameters sslParameters = new SSLParameters();
sslParameters.setEndpointIdentificationAlgorithm("HTTPS");
sslParameters.setProtocols(new String[]{"TLSv1.2"});
 
URI uri = URI.create("rediss://host:port");
JedisShardInfo shardInfo = new JedisShardInfo(uri, sslSocketFactory, sslParameters, null);
 
shardInfo.setPassword("cachePassword");
 
Jedis jedis = new Jedis(shardInfo);

The Lettuce and Redisson clients don't yet support specifying the TLS version. They break if the cache accepts only TLS 1.2 connections. Fixes for these clients are being reviewed, so check with those packages for an updated version with this support.

In Java 8, TLS 1.2 is used by default and shouldn't require updates to your client configuration in most cases. To be safe, test your application.

As of Java 17, TLS 1.3 is used by default.

Node Redis and ioredis both support TLS 1.2 and 1.3.

Versions earlier than PHP 7: Predis supports only TLS 1.0. These versions don't work with TLS 1.2; you must upgrade to use TLS 1.2.

PHP 7.0 to PHP 7.2.1: Predis uses only TLS 1.0 or 1.1 by default. You can use the following workaround to use TLS 1.2. Specify TLS 1.2 when you create the client instance:

$redis=newPredis\Client([
    'scheme'=>'tls',
    'host'=>'host',
    'port'=>6380,
    'password'=>'password',
    'ssl'=>[
        'crypto_type'=>STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv1_2_CLIENT,
    ],
]);

PHP 7.3 and later versions: Predis uses the latest TLS version.

PhpRedis doesn't support TLS on any PHP version.

Redis-py uses TLS 1.2 by default.

Redigo uses TLS 1.2 by default.
