I just stumbled upon on this error which seems too big to be true :-) On a fresh install of october on docker I installed the Rainlab User plugin and this plugin but as I try the /api/login route (with POST method) I get this error:

Did anyone ever meet this error?

I just had the same error. It appears if the config/auth.php in the OctoberCMS installation is present, the default plugin config/auth.php is ignored. Once I copied the contents to my installation config/auth.php, the login worked.

As you can notice guard[] is empty where it should be guard[web] or whatever your default is. This meant the default guard was not defined at all.

I don't know if this is a bug or expected behaviour. In my opinion the plugin configs should extend the entries that are not set in the project config.
