Hi All, I'm having a problem working with the security layer and i'm pretty sure its because i don't understand the big picture in relation to security. I found one other user who was having the same problem, but they didn't receive an answer: http://groups.google.com/group/symfony-users/browse_thread/thread/7c1b41a9fdb467e8.
The background: i have a homepage which any visitor should be able to visit. I have a /user/* section which will be accessible to only registered users. I have a header which shows on both the homepage and in the /user/* section which should show the currently logged in registered user or a small login form. The problem: once the user has logged in, from the header controller i call $this->get('security.context')->getToken() and it returns the correct user while in the /user/* section, but an anonymous user when they are on the homepage. I have the following security setup. I've tried many combinations, but this one seems to be the closest to what i need: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- security: encoders: MyUser: plaintext providers: user: entity: { class: MyUser, property: emailAddress } firewalls: profiler: pattern: ^/_profiler security: false wdt: pattern: ^/_wdt security: false login: pattern: ^/user/login$ security: false user: pattern: ^/user/ form_login: check_path: /user/login-check login_path: /user/login default_target_path: /user/dashboard provider: user logout: path: /user/logout target: / main: pattern: ^/ anonymous: true provider: user -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I have the following routes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- homepage: pattern: / defaults: { _controller: GeneralPublicBundle:Home:view } userDashboard: pattern: /user/dashboard defaults: { _controller: UserBundle:Dashboard:view } login: pattern: /user/login defaults: { _controller: SiteSecurityBundle:Login:form } # Will be intercepted by security layer _security_check: pattern: /user/login-check # Will be intercepted by security layer logout: pattern: /user/logout -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To replicate the issue, in a new session i: - go to user/dashboard - once redirected to login, I type in a valid username and password - i get redirected back to /user/dashboard and the header shows the details of my database user - I go to the site homepage (/) and the header shows an anonymous user I'm using Beta1. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
