Using with memcached redis protocol times out

[sedhha]

I am trying to setup a redis client. Here's how my cloud configuration looks like:

I am using the SAML password to make the connection as shown below:

I am using the following code to make a connection which doesn't give any error:

scala> val client = new RedisClient(host="HOST ADDRESS",port=PORTNUMBER,database=0,secret=Option("SecretKey"))

which is working fine but when I try to make a get item request as shown below:

client.get("Something")

it takes a very long time and then times out can someone help me understand if I need to modify any configurations or something?
