I can access admin dashboard directly without login.

I need to restrict admin area by login.

You can change default guard to admin or change middleware in config/sleeping_owl.php to

'middleware' => ['web', 'auth:admin'],

[waqasmehmud]

sleeping_owl.php this file does not exists here https://github.com/SleepingOwlAdmin/demo/tree/master/config

[waqasmehmud]

even on demo link i can access admin area without login http://demo.sleepingowladmin.ru/admin

[butschster]

php artisan sleepingowl:install https://github.com/LaravelRUS/SleepingOwlAdmin#authentication

[waqasmehmud]

I followed all the steps, admin link now redirects to frontend login and after login it redirects to frontend home page not admin dashboard

[butschster]

You should run artisan command php artisan sleepingowl:install And then you should open config/sleeping_owl.php and append middleware auth:admin

// before
'middleware' => ['web'],

// after
'middleware' => ['web', 'auth:admin'],

yes, did exactly same as you said. tried with new installation as well. but results still same. it redirects to default laravel auth login and after login to home page. i can't access dashboard.

@butschster , @waqasmehmud not auth:admin — just auth for default installation of demo app. I.e., slepping_owl.php

    'middleware' => ['web', 'auth'],

@butschster , what do you think to add it as default to demo application? It seems expectable if you install demo app.
