CakePHP4 / CakeDC keeps asking to login

Question

I'm using CakePHP 4.0.4 and the latest CakeDC plugin.

My configuration:

Application.php

class Application extends BaseApplication
{
    public function bootstrap(): void
    {
        ... standard CakePHP code ...
       $this->addPlugin(\CakeDC\Users\Plugin::class);
    }

AppController.php

class AppController extends Controller
{
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
        $this->loadComponent('Flash');
    }
}

EventsController.php

class EventsController extends AppController
{
    public function beforeFilter(\Cake\Event\EventInterface $event)
    {
        parent::beforeFilter($event);
        $this->Authentication->allowUnauthenticated(['index']);
    }
    public function index($type='') 
    {

When going to the events page, it keeps redirecting me to the login page. What am I not seeing here?

[EDIT]
I've noticed that the beforeFilter() of EventsController isn't called.
