Any chance for support for authentication to redis?

As a workaround, you can create the clients yourself:

var redis = require('socket.io-redis/node_modules/redis').createClient,
    ropts = {/* your redis options */}, subOpts = { detect_buffers:true },
    pub = ropts.socket ? redis(ropts.socket) : redis(ropts.port, ropts.host),
    sub = ropts.socket ? redis(ropts.socket, subOpts) : redis(ropts.port, ropts.host, subOpts),
if (ropts.pass) {
    pub.auth(ropts.pass, function(err) { if (err) { throw err; } });
    sub.auth(ropts.pass, function(err) { if (err) { throw err; } });
}
io.adapter(require('socket.io-redis')({
    pubClient:pub, subClient:sub
}));

Yea, thats what I ended up doing. I appreciate it!

Not sure if this is something that should be added into the redis adapter. If you want anything "special" in your redis clients, you can just inject the instances in the adapter constructor as suggested by @thetalecrafter.

Thoughts @guille?
