Description

Issue

When SSL config is missing from client config but SSL only is enabled on the redis server, the client hangs indefinitely with no logs or errors. It would be great to have some sort of log when the client initially tries to connect and then another after a few seconds if it still cannot for whatever reason.

Happy to PR if there is any interest this.

Environment
  • Node.js Version: 12.14

  • Redis Version: 5.0.6 (elasticache redis)

  • Platform: Mac and Linux

Research direction

Start by reproducing the client connection with SSL-only Redis while the client SSL configuration is missing, using the Node.js 12.14 and Redis 5.0.6 environment described. Trace the initial connection attempt and determine what logs or errors appear; done means the hang is replaced by useful connection diagnostics, including a later message if the connection remains unresolved.
