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 onl

If you're using Devise (or other Warden-based authentication), you can do this, supposing you have an AdminUser model in your app.

# config/routes.rb
# This defines the authentication constraint
constraint = lambda do |request|
               request.env['warden'].authenticate!({ scope: :admin_user })
             end

# This mounts the route using the constraint.
# You could use any other path to make it less obvious
constraints constraint do
  mount Sidekiq::Web => '/sidekiq'
end
