Description
I have a bit of a unique case and looking to get some answers to some questions before go down path. We are looking to use Signal R with a Redis (AWS elastic cache) backplane. It will be authenticated via IAM authentication.
For the request/response use case I just update the ConfigurationOptions and it would use it on the next connect. For the signalr use case would it be possible to use the ConnectionFactory to achieve the same or would i be running into issues because this is a long lived connection?
