Description

Hello,

we're experiencing connection issues with Amazon AWS ElastiCache Redis instances over TLS (rediss://...). After raising an issue with redis-py, this seems to be related to a changed default setting/behaviour in redis-py 3.x for the argument "ssl_cert_reqs". Related ticket is: https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py/issues/1080 It seems this cannot be configured in django-redis? Can you please add a configuration option?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add a configuration option for ssl cert reqs in the Django settings for django redis, similar to how other SSL options are handled. Look at the existing CACHE configuration options in Django and the django redis backend code to see where SSL settings are passed.
