+environment explane
I am in the kubernetes cluster.
the redis-sentinel is the 3 node out of the kubernetes cluster.
but it can connect redis-sentinel's node and kubernetes pod.
I tried redis-cli -h {master-ip} -p 6379 -a {password} in the redis pod and I can connect to redis.

when I tried in other kubernetes cluster a month before.
I used helm to install redis-sentinel.
and that time I can easilly connect to redis-sentinel in django.

but can't not this time.

Getting the same error with Redis. I am not using Sentinel. This happens with Redis 6+.

A simple solution is to set the password for the default user.

acl setuser default >password

This worked for me.
