### Use Microsoft Entra ID authentication on your cache
Azure Redis caches, except for Enterprise and Enterprise Flash tiers, have Microsoft Entra Authentication enabled by default. Access keys are disabled by default.
[!INCLUDE [redis-access-key-alert](redis-access-key-alert.md)]
1. In the Azure portal, select the cache where you'd like to use Microsoft Entra token-based authentication.
1. Select **Authentication** from the Resource menu.
1. Select **Select member** and enter the name of a valid user. The user you enter is automatically assigned _Data Owner Access Policy_ by default when you select **Save**. You can also enter a managed identity or service principal to connect to your cache instance.
