I am using sidekiq in my rails application. By Default, Sidekiq can be accessed by anybody by appending "/sidekiq" after the url. I want to password protect / authenticate only the sidekiq part. How can i do that?
Put the following into your sidekiq initializer
require 'sidekiq'
require 'sidekiq/web'
Sidekiq::Web.use(Rack::Auth::Basic) do |user, password|
# Protect against timing attacks:

# - See https://thisdata.com/blog/timing-attacks-against-string-comparison/
# - Use & (do not use &&) so that it doesn't short circuit.
# - Use digests to stop length information leaking
Rack::Utils.secure_compare(::Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(user), ::Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(ENV["SIDEKIQ_USER"])) &
Rack::Utils.secure_compare(::Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(password), ::Digest::SHA256.hexdigest(ENV["SIDEKIQ_PASSWORD"]))
end
And in the routes file:
mount Sidekiq::Web => '/sidekiq'
