I have problems in setting the config variables for ember simple auth. i am currently working on removing the depreciation Mixins like `ApplicationRouteMixin` and i want to set up the variables like :

```auto
            routeAfterAuthentication: 'protected.index',
            routeAfterLogout: 'login',
            registerRoute: 'signup',
            routeIfAlreadyAuthenticated: 'protected.index',

```

currently, i added it inside the enviroument.js file but the problem is after i login successfully, the session does not redirect to the index route. so it doesn’t recognize routeAfterAuthentication value.

I think they moved away from configuring these values in `config/environment.js` a long time ago. Back when it was removed (~ESA 1.2) you had to do it like [this](https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/pull/985#issuecomment-314817585).

However in newest ESA it sounds like there is [a new suggested approach](https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/issues/2240)

Oh actually this may just be due to a bug that was fixed: [routeAfterAuthentication configuration key bug · Issue #2231 · simplabs/ember-simple-auth · GitHub](https://github.com/simplabs/ember-simple-auth/issues/2231)
