My discourse app need to connect to central redis server which has auth enabled.Right now I am connecting this server by setting `DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST: $MyRedisIP` in web\_only.yml. Is there a way I can configure a password for redis connection ? Can something be configured like `DISCOURSE_DB_PASSWORD` ?

Auth is supported use the env var you are after is `DISCOURSE_REDIS_PASSWORD` to specify it.
