I have the same problem...
Auth::user() returns null on custom middleware

@NeonOdyssey
you need to add 'web' middleware before
'middleware' => [ 'web', 'yourCustomAdminMiddleware', Protoqol\Prequel\Http\Middleware\Authorised::class, ],

    public function handle(Request $request, Closure $next)
    {

        $key = $request->get('kay');
        $allowedKeys = config('monzurul.allowed_keys');

        if (in_array($key, $allowedKeys)) {
            return $next($request);
        } else {
            return  abort(403);
        }
    }

Hello, I am using this kind of middleware check, but still getting the 403 status code. Any reason why ? or a possible solution?

prequel.php file

'middleware' => [
        'web',
         PrequelAuthMiddleware::class,
        Protoqol\Prequel\Http\Middleware\Authorised::class,
    ],

Hi @Xatta-Trone, it's impossible to say what the exact cause of this problem is.
I'd do more debugging into the particular middleware which is giving the 403 - this could be in de 'web' middleware group as well. If in this case the supplied code is causing it, you might need to look at the if-condition. Prequel does not give out a 403 errors on a failed middleware check. Only a 404 or a 503.
Hope this helps!
