Support auth/requirepass on sentinels

Hello, and first of all, sorry if I am wrong posting here. I cannot seem to connect to sentinels configured with requirepass, as explained here. I am talking about requirepass set for the sentinel in sentinel.conf, not for the redis server itself (which has requirepass set already). My configuration is as follows:

RedisSentinelConfiguration sentinelConfiguration = new RedisSentinelConfiguration();
sentinelConfiguration.setSentinels(this.redisNodes);
sentinelConfiguration.setMaster(this.masterName);
sentinelConfiguration.setPassword(RedisPassword.of(password));
JedisClientConfiguration clientConfiguration = JedisClientConfiguration.builder().connectTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(this.timeout)).readTimeout(Duration.ofSeconds(this.timeout)).usePooling().build();
JedisConnectionFactory factory = new JedisConnectionFactory(sentinelConfiguration, clientConfiguration);

Whenever I try to connect, I get redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisDataException: NOAUTH Authentication required. I tried debugging the connection, and saw that no password is used in the initSentinels method. Am I doing something wrong? Is this setup supported? If not, will it ever be? I am using the latest stable version 2.9.0. Many thanks in advance.

is there any update on this thread?

Is there any alternate for this to use?

Apparently, after Redis 5.0.1 they now support authentication at the Sentinel, Release notes. Are there any plans to fix this?
