> 💬 **GitHub discussion [middleware-manager #20](https://github.com/hhftechnology/middleware-manager/discussions/20)** in _Q&A_, started by **`chrispazz`** on GitHub Hello, I deployed your great addition to pangolin. However I can’t have my existing Authentik working with Traefik. I made all setup in authentik and with middleware-manager I personalised the middleware Authentik with my auth URL and added it to a specific resource. However, trying to reach the URL resource, it seems to ignore authentik. Do I have to configure something also in static or dynamic Traefik configuration files or using the middleware-manager is enough? Thank you C. * * * 💬 Join in here or [on GitHub](https://github.com/hhftechnology/middleware-manager/discussions/20). ---
