Do BullMQ support microsoft managed identity?

[Bubuioc]

Hello, i use managed identity to connect to my azure redis cluster docs, that require reauthentication with a accessToken instead of password after a certain period of time, do BullMQ support this?If yes how can i implement this?

There is literally an example in the link you sent for IORedis which is what we use in BullMQ: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/blob/main/sdk/identity/identity/samples/AzureCacheForRedis/ioredis.md#migration-guidance-1

Yes I know, but i don't know if bullmq support reconnection and how i must implement the connection of bullmq with redis, I read the docs and saw that connection can be implemented in 2 ways.First by giving connection options like this:

const myQueue = new Queue('myqueue', {
 connection: {
   host: 'myredis.taskforce.run',
   port: 32856,
 },
});

and second to give a redis instance:

const connection = new IORedis();
const myFirstQueue = new Queue('myFirstQueue', { connection });

In my code I have the redisClient instace as a field of the RedisService class that can be retrived by this getter :

public get getClient() {
    if (!this.redisClient) {
      this.logger.error('Missing redisClient');
      throw new InternalServerErrorException();
    }

In my vision i can just instantiate the bullmq like this:

const myFirstQueue = new Queue('myFirstQueue', redisService.getClient);

But will bullmq handle reconnection right?
Sorry if this might seem a stupid question but I have no more who to ask.

The reconnection is handled by IORedis not by BullMQ.
