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 ..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: - cookie ``` Afterwards, you can create _AuthorizationPolicy_ resources to protect your applications like this: ```yaml apiVersion: security.istio.io/v1beta1 kind: AuthorizationPolicy metadata: name: authentik-policy namespace: istio-system spec: 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" ```
