Forward Auth with NPM - I want to pay someone for dedicated support to resolve a simple issue.

[mylegitches]

Serious applicants only, please

I have a seemingly simple use case:

I will have internal users (myself and a few other 'admins') that are part of my company.
I will have external users - authentik will be used to to confirm their access to a webapp (identity & MFA).

I was planning to have mywebapp.mydomain.com authenticate through auth.mydomain.com, meaning I want to use authentik's flows to handle the logins to my webapp that has no authentication mechanisms. I want external users to use MFA to login.

From what I can understand from the docs the best way to do this is to do a single-app forward auth. I have tried this across many environments for many months and I cannot ever get it to work.

I have the following docker compose project running:
Containers:

• Nginx Proxy Manager
• authentik

I have 2 Proxy Hosts configured:

• authentik: auth.mydomain.com
• My webapp: webapp.mydomain.com

I have tinkered with severl permutations of settings in Nginx Proxy Manager, using suggested snippets from authentik's WebUI, the web, YouTube, ChatGPT, stack overflow, and more. I have been trying to get successful results with this basic configuration on several different environments - PCs, networks, VMs, domains, companies, etc. No matter what I cannot get this seemingly simple feature to work.

I would like to pay for some support since my account doesn't qualify for the included support tier.
