This would be correct

var redis = require('redis');
             var client = redis.createClient(9056, 'char.redistogo.com'); // arguments are interchanged
             client.auth('1234567890abcdefghijklm', function (err) {
               if (err) { throw err; }
               // You are now connected to your redis.
             });
