Login Screen

The login screen configures the connection to a FalkorDB server and authenticates the user.

Login modes

The UI supports two ways to provide connection details:

1) Manual configuration

Use this when you want to explicitly set fields:

  • Host (default placeholder: localhost)
  • Port (default placeholder: 6379)
  • Username (optional)
  • Password (optional)
  • TLS toggle
  • CA certificate upload (optional; used when TLS is enabled)

Notes:

  • When using a local FalkorDB instance with default credentials, username/password can typically be left blank (the UI hints this).
  • Disabling TLS clears the uploaded certificate.

2) FalkorDB URL

Use this when you already have a single URL to connect with.

Expected format:

  • falkor[s]://[[username][:password]@][host][:port][/db-number]
  • The UI also supports redis:// and rediss://.

Examples:

  • falkor://Default:Default@localhost:6379
  • falkors://user:pass@my-host:6379

If the URL format is invalid, the form shows a validation error before attempting login.

What happens on successful login

On success, the browser navigates to the Graphs workspace (/graph).

Troubleshooting

  • If login fails, you’ll see an “Invalid credentials” error.
  • If you enabled TLS, make sure the server actually supports TLS and (if needed) upload the correct CA.
