L5.2: Specifying ardent as driver for user provider for in auth.php causes "Authentication user provider [ardent] is not defined" error about ardent HOT 3 OPEN

As the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2 is a minor version, it should not cause any trouble.
However, I have not yet tried to upgrade my applications. I'm using "eloquent" as auth driver, however; there's no "ardent" auth driver.

When a Bad Gateway occurs on Nginx, usually there's a fatal error inside the PHP scripts, that can be found if you search for the PHP log files - it breaks before PHP is able to spit a nice error message to Nginx. Have you tried that?

I was unable to solve the issue on 5.2, but downgrading to 5.1 solved the problem entirely and Ardent seems to be working fine. Still unsure what 5.2 changes might be breaking it.

Ok, do this probably is an issue related to 5.2. Sad enough, as a minor version upgrade, but...
I'll take a look at this in the following weeks if anyone tries to help out :)
