Description: Description of your issue, stack traces from errors and code that reproduces the issue

I set up a redis server with this config which I include at the end of the default config file (/etc/redis/redis.conf):

port 0
requirepass foobared
unixsocket /var/run/redis/redis-server.sock
unixsocketperm 770

Install redis-py and create this python file:

import redis

redis_inst = redis.Redis()
redis_client = redis_inst.from_url("unix://:foobared/var/run/redis/redis-server.sock")
redis_client.sadd("ABC", 555)

Result: redis.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Authentication required.

Tried this on two separate machines with different venvs. It might just be an issue with the from_url method. I was not able to get to the bottom of this. But since it is mentioned in the docs that this is supported, I wanted to report this issue.

@hofrob You need to send the password as a parameter in the url schema:
redis_client = redis_inst.from_url("unix://:foobared/var/run/redis/redis-server.sock?password=foobared")
