title: Connecting to Azure Redis Cache
body: <p>I am trying to connect to the Preview Azure Redis Cache with the following code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>var options = new ConfigurationOptions();
  options.EndPoints.Add("myname.redis.cache.windows.net", 6379);
  options.Ssl = true;
  options.Password = "VeryLongKeyCopiedFromPortal";
  var connection = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(options);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I do this I get the exception </p>
  
  <p>"It was not possible to connect to the redis server(s); to create a disconnected multiplexer, disable AbortOnConnectFail"</p>
  
  <p>What can be causing this?</p>
