Description

On Fedora 38, redis-server does not start:

[warn][2023-04-26T17:26:44.476406] Unable to connect to redis server,
Redis server

• dhcp31-112.perf.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com:17001: DENIED

Redis is running in protected mode because protected mode is enabled
and no password is set for the default user. In this mode connections
are only accepted from the loopback interface. If you want to connect
from external computers to Redis you may adopt one of the following
solutions:

1. Just disable protected mode sending the command 'CONFIG
   SET protected-mode no' from the loopback interface by connecting to
   Redis from the same host the server is running, however MAKE SURE
   Redis is not publicly accessible from internet if you do so. Use
   CONFIG REWRITE to make this change permanent.

2. Alternatively you can just disable the protected mode by editing
   the Redis configuration file, and setting the protected mode option to
   'no', and then restarting the server.

3. If you started the server manually just for testing, restart it
   with the '--protected-mode no' option.

4. Setup a an authentication password for the default user. NOTE: You
   only need to do one of the above things in order for the server to
   start accepting connections from the outside.

However we choose to address this, the fix needs to apply to the Fedora-38-based containerized Agent as well.

(We might want to contemplate whether fixing the container should be the fix for this issue...although, perhaps it's too soon to suggest that we ship only a containerized Agent instead of a native installation.)

Ditto on Fedora 37.
