How to use non-default user for replication

[sheyt0]

Is it possible to use a non-default user (RO) for replication?

Something like

user *ro_user* on +@read +PSYNC +REPLCONF ~* >*ro_user_pass*

and

masteruser *ro_user*
masterauth *ro_user_pass*

in Redis

@sheyt0 Kvrocks doesn't support the ACL user for now, but you can use the namespace mechanism to separate the default user(admin) and other users, please refer: https://kvrocks.apache.org/docs/namespace

@git-hulk, thanks.
I'm using namespaces + requerepass on master + masterauth on replicas.
There's nothing stopping someone from taking masterauth
value from config and use it to connect via redis-cli to master and make any changes.

@sheyt0 Yes, no way to workaround this without the ACL user feature.

Are there any plans to add support in the near future?

I have added it to our 2024 yearly plan: #1974, but cannot promise the finished time.
