Description
I am trying out the new identity auth with a basic tier azure redis (v6.0 with AAD access auth enabled with minTLS 1.2). I tried using a client app to connect but am getting:
StackExchange.Redis.RedisConnectionException: It was not possible to connect to the redis server(s). There was an authentication failure; check that passwords (or
client certificates) are configured correctly: (RedisServerException) NOAUTH Returned - connection has not yet authenticated
The client service principal had been granted the data contributor access policy to the cluster.
Am I missing anything here or is there any way I can further troubleshoot the issue?
Thanks so much!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the identity-auth connection setup for Azure Redis and the service principal's data contributor permission. Reproduce the NOAUTH failure with the stated Redis 6.0, AAD access, and minTLS 1.2 configuration, then confirm that the client authenticates successfully or document the missing configuration.
