configure redis auth on sidekiq

Question

I think I am missing something since I couldn't find in the docs how to write the username and password for the redis instance to use with sidekiq..

Is there a way to do this? Or is it through ENV vars?

Sidekiq passes unrecognized redis options directly to the Redis driver:

config.redis = { password: 'bar' }

And redis does not have the concept of users so there's only password.

I needed to do this in both `Sidekiq.configure_server` & `Sidekiq.configure_client` blocks http://stackoverflow.com/a/34208337/161815 – gerry3 Sep 01 '16 at 19:14
`config` is a reference to the `Rails.application.configuration` object, yes? – mecampbellsoup Jun 02 '22 at 22:29
@mecampbellsoup Nope. The Sidekiq config object. – Mike Perham Jun 03 '22 at 18:49
