Rails, Sidekiq - Redis NOAUTH

Question

I use sidekiq on rails for sending out emails. I've added a password for the redis server but cant seem to get it right because I get an error

D, [2015-12-10T16:49:52.714279 #10497] DEBUG -- :    (0.5ms)  COMMIT

Redis::CommandError (NOAUTH Authentication required.):

  app/controllers/messages_controller.rb:35:in `create'

My sidekiq log shows it should be ok?

2015-12-10T16:49:39.220Z 10448 TID-ows27pimw INFO: Booting Sidekiq 3.5.3 with redis options {:url=>"redis://localhost:6379/0", :password=>"REDACTED", :namespace=>"sidekiq"}

This is my sidekiq.rb inside initializers

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  config.redis = { :url => "redis://#{}localhost:6379/0", password: ENV["REDIS_PASSWORD"], :namespace => "sidekiq" }
end

You need to configure Redis in both server and client blocks, as explained in the Using Redis wiki page.
