Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked Redis 8.6 TLS certificate-based authentication documentation and locating Dragonfly’s existing TLS, ACL, and client-authentication entry points. Compare the desired certificate-to-ACL-user mapping with current behavior; done means certificates can automatically authenticate to the intended ACL users, with coverage for the relevant authentication cases.
