Set the following settings on the _IstioOperator_ resource:
```yaml
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
metadata:
name: istio
namespace: istio-system
spec:
meshConfig:
extensionProviders:
- name: "authentik"
envoyExtAuthzHttp:
# Replace with <service-name>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local
service: "ak-outpost-authentik-embedded-outpost.authentik.svc.cluster.local"
port: "9000"
pathPrefix: "/outpost.goauthentik.io/auth/envoy"
headersToDownstreamOnAllow:
- cookie
headersToUpstreamOnAllow:
- set-cookie
- x-authentik-*
includeRequestHeadersInCheck:
```
Afterwards, you can create _AuthorizationPolicy_ resources to protect your applications like this:
apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1
kind: AuthorizationPolicy
name: authentik-policy
selector:
matchLabels:
istio: ingressgateway
action: CUSTOM
provider:
name: "authentik"
rules:
- to:
- operation:
hosts:
# You can create a single resource and list all Domain names here, or create multiple resources
- "app.company"
