Symfony2 won't load custom authentication provider, loads DaoAuthenticationProvider

Question

This is a continuation of my last question.

Hi,

I\'m implementing, in a Symfony2 application, a custom authentication provider in order to authentic

Answer 1

A had to create something like this a week ago. At the and, I created a custom user provider, where I simply call the api and with the response i create the user or not.

I would advise to read this:

http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/cookbook/security/custom_provider.html

Answer 2

the line return $this->authenticationManager->authenticate(new WordnikUserToken($username, $password, $this->providerKey)); in the WordnikListener goes to Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\AuthenticationProviderManager (classes.php) authenticate. $this->providers are DaoAuthentificationProvider, WordnikProvider and AnonymousAuthentificationProvider. From the DaoAuthentificationProvider it only uses the method supports($token): return $token instanceof UsernamePasswordToken && $this->providerKey === $token->getProviderKey();

which returns false so next in line is WordnikProvider.

Oh..misread: the error is in the constructor: parent::__construct($userChecker, $providerKey, $hideUserNotFoundExceptions); seems to fail. Running PHP 5.4.10 or so I DON'T have an error!!

Either rm -rf vendor and run composer install again or try using a different PHP version!!
