Laravel Elfinder redirecting to homepage while using 'auth' middleware

Question

I am using https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-elfinder and whenever i set middleware to auth in config/elfinder.php file , I am redirected to home page, but whene i use middleware to NULL , elfinder opens perfectly fine.

How can i secure the route of elfinder in laravel , so that only accessed user are allowed to open the file manager ?

Thanks

The Solution is to use web as another middleware in config\elfinder.php file.

So, the solution becomes

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

From laravel 5.2 , "web" middleware has been introduced.
