access_control:
- { path: ^/(.+), roles: admin }
- { path: ^/$, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
When i login, I get 403 forbidden exception. Then i check profiler/security, and roles looks like that:
Roles [ROLE_USER, admin]
When i switch access control to:
- { path: ^/(.+), roles: ROLE_USER }
It works fine.
Why the hell my access control doesn't allow me to access pages with "admin" role, but does with "ROLE_USER" ?
My goal is to drop built-in roles (like ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN etc), because I'm writing application for existing database, which contains already defined roles for users, so i want to use them.
I have confirmed that 'ROLE_' prefix is required - its because symfony by default use its own RoleVoter implementation.
To get rid of this prefix, custom RoleVoter is needed. To do that you need to create custom class implementing RoleVoterInterface, make it service and tag it with 'security.voter', to enforce security layer to use it instead of default one.
Read more about implementing own RoleVoters on this example.
You are not using the right syntax for roles in the Security configuration
you should change
- { path: ^/(.+), roles: admin }
To:
- { path: ^/(.+), roles: ROLE_ADMIN }

I am trying to set up user and security management in a first test application of mine and I have come to be a bit lost as to what does what.
My setup thus far: Symfony 2.5, SonataUserBundle (and with it FOSUserBundle)
In my app/config/config.yml, I have the following settings that I make out to be relevant in terms of managing site security (most taken over from the setup instructions of the various bundles I included):
imports:
- { resource: security.yml }
[...]
fos_user:
firewall_name: main
[...]
security:
# FOSUserBundle config
# cf. https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/index.md#step-4-configure-your-applications-securityyml
encoders:
FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface: sha512
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN
providers:
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_provider.username
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
csrf_provider: form.csrf_provider
logout: true
anonymous: true
# end of FOSUserBundle config
access_control:
# URL of FOSUserBundle which need to be available to anonymous users
- { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
# Admin login page needs to be access without credential
- { path: ^/admin/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin/logout$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin/login_check$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
# Secured part of the site
# This config requires being logged for the whole site and having the admin role for the admin part.
# Change these rules to adapt them to your needs
- { path: ^/admin/, role: [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN] }
- { path: ^/.*, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
My app/config/security.yml looks as follows:
security:
# added with Sonata User Bundle
encoders:
FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface: sha512
# end
providers:
in_memory:
memory: ~
# added with Sonata User Bundle
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_manager
# end
firewalls:
dev:
pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
security: false
# added with Sonata User Bundle
# -> custom firewall for the admin area of the URL
admin:
pattern: /admin(.*)
context: user
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
login_path: /admin/login
use_forward: false
check_path: /admin/login_check
failure_path: null
logout:
path: /admin/logout
anonymous: true
# -> end custom configuration
# default login area for standard users
# This firewall is used to handle the public login area
# This part is handled by the FOS User Bundle
main:
pattern: /(.*)
context: user
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
login_path: /login
use_forward: false
check_path: /login_check
failure_path: null
logout: true
anonymous: true
# end
default:
anonymous: ~
# Sonata
acl:
connection: default
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN]
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
SONATA:
- ROLE_SONATA_PAGE_ADMIN_PAGE_EDIT # if you are using acl then this line must be commented
Here are my questions:
Precedence of configurations
Based on my understanding of the "patterns" of Symfony thus far, anything in security.yml is loaded first and would thus take precedence over any new definitions for identical parameters further down in my config.yml. Is that correct?
Duplicate definitions
It seems to me that the following are defined twice, once in security.yml, once in config.yml:
The provider for FOSUserBundle (different values, fos_user.user_manager and fos_user.user_provider.username)
The encoder for FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface
The pattern for the main firewall (^/vs. .*)
Are these indeed defining the same? Is it safe to assume that in all these cases, only those settings defined in security.yml apply?
Best practices
How should security-related definitions generally be divided between security.yml and config.yml (and other potential locations)?
As Cerad mentionned in a comment, you have the same section security: in both files.
Look at the start of the app/config/config.yml file:
imports:
- { resource: security.yml }
This means that the security.yml file will be imported when the config.yml file will be parsed by Symfony2. So you can keep only the security: section in the app/config/security.yml file in order to define the security configuration.
This is the default configuration, see these files in the official GitHub repository:
app/config/config.yml (no security: section)
app/config/security.yml (contains a security: section)
Question: I want to create an admin part in my Symfony2 website that would be available only to users with a ROLE_ADMIN
I don't know if I should create a new firewall or use acces controls. I tried to do both together but the admin part is still accessible to all users.
Currently all the website is under secured area firewall and pages i want available to anonymous are freed with access control.
Here is my security.yml
security:

Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: plaintext

default_target_path: tk_user_homepage
provider: my_facebook_provider
logout:
path: fos_user_security_logout
target: fos_user_security_login
invalidate_session: false
context: login
access_control:
- { path: ^/$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/new, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/invitation, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/(subscribe|about|blog|press|contact), role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED }
- { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }
I am also thinking about checking in the controller is the user has an admin role and throwing an exception if not, as my admin part is only one page currently. But I do not know if it is best practice and it could be a problem if i want to extend my admin part.
And I do not want to create a new user provider as we would be only 2 admins.
Thank you very much,
Jules
You should remove the admin firewall and rely on access_control; If you have admin login form under the /admin/ URL, you of course will not be able to see it before logging in, so you should either use the /login form to sign in as admin, or modify your access_control:
- { path: ^/admin/login/, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }
here is what official doc says about your situation:
Multiple firewalls don't share security context If you're using multiple firewalls and you authenticate against one firewall, you will
not be authenticated against any other firewalls automatically.
Different firewalls are like different security systems. To do this
you have to explicitly specify the same Firewall Context for different
firewalls. But usually for most applications, having one main firewall
is enough.
http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/security.html#book-security-common-pitfalls
You should read the whole Common pitfalls section
If you would really really like to use different firewalls, just do as the documentation states, and share the same firewall context beetween them. This is also described in the documentation:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/security.html#reference-security-firewall-context
and here is a simple example:
admin:
(... other options ...)
context: my_security_context
secured_area:
context: my_security_context
(... other options ...)
The Access Control looks for the first match.
Because of that you need to put this line:
- { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }
Before this line:
- { path: ^/$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
If you do not, /admin/whatever matches the path ^/$ and needs no ROLE_ADMIN.
How is it possible to get app.user from unsecure area?
So I have secured area which starts from ^/user.
But I need to display logout form on area which is accessible for everyone and not secured. How is this possible? My security.yml:
security:

- { path: ^/admin/, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
- { path: ^/user/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/user/, roles: ROLE_USER }
Well I changed a little bit my security.yml. So currently everything works ok.
user:
pattern: ^/
access_control:
- { path: ^/, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
...
UPDATE 1
It seems that line in access_controll is not required. Moreover by some reason(might be cache) anonymoous users were accessing /user areas
You can get app.user in some unsecured area because Symfony security relies on 2 different mechanisms: authentication and authorization.
Authentication is defined by firewalls. As soon as you get under a firewall, you get a token and eventually a app.user, even if it is anonymous.
Authorization is related to access_control rules. It is a second step, you can't put access control rules outside of a firewall. There you will deal with the ROLE requirement, in example if ROLE_ANONYMOUS is enoug, if you want ROLE_USER...
One more thing: to complexify a little further, a firewall can allow or disallow anonymous users. By default it is true, as it is required to have you login and login_check paths under yoru firewall though you cant' require there users to have a role other than ROLE_ANONYMOUS (if you do so, you will have an infinite loop).
I'm trying to take advantage of Symfony's authentication and authorization capabilities however I'm somewhat confused as to what my security.yml file should look like.
I'm looking to accomplish the following objectives:
1) The routes / and /join (are avilable to everyeone - no login required).
2) all other routes require a login/password.
3) the /adimin route should be futher restricted to admin users only.
4) all users should be authenticated against the database.
I have item 4 figured out (I think) - see below. I'm not sure what the administrators: word means though. Does that mean only administrators use the User class? Should that say users: or something else?
security:
encoders:
MySite\Bundle\Entity\User:
algorithm: sha1
encode_as_base64: false
iterations: 1
providers:
administrators: (??? what doest his mean ???)
entity: { class: MySiteBundle:User }
More Importantly --
For Items 1, 2, and 3 I'm not sure what to put. I have a bunch of entries under the firewalls: section and the access_control: sections however It just doesnt work or make sense. Can someone post what the security.yml should look like just by the goals I'm looking to accomplish in numbers 1 - 3?
Here is a configuration exemple from what I understood from your needs:
security:
encoders:
"MySite\Bundle\Entity\User": { algorithm: sha1, encode_as_base64: false, iterations: 1 }
providers:
database: { entity: "MySite\Bundle\Entity\User" }
firewalls:
dev:
pattern: ^/(_profiler|_wdt|css|js)
security: false
main:
pattern: ^/
provider: database
anonymous: true
# the rest of your firewall's config
access_control:
- { path: ^/(join)?$, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY }
We configure the password encoder for the user entity and we define a provider for it.
Then we define a dev firewall to deactivate security for the debug/profiler/asset pathes and a main one that will be the real firewall for the application. This last firewall will use the previously defined user provider and allow anomymous users (important!).
Finally in the access control map, we first define a rule for the pathes allowed to anonymous users and then a generic rule that requires the user to be fully authenticated for the rest of the site.
For anyone else asking this or a similiar question, I've managed to get this working using the following settings in security.yml.
security:
encoders:
MySite\Bundle\Entity\User:
algorithm: sha1
encode_as_base64: false

#requirements:

logout:
pattern: /admin/logout
I can't login through these setting ,
it always throw an exception
Unable to find the controller for path "/ar/admin/logincheck". Maybe
you forgot to add the matching route in your routing configuration
and even if had setup the route check_path page >> i would be able to view the check_path without being redirected to login page ..
/en/admin >> login page
/en/logincheck >> display the logincheck template (i.e /en/logincheck isn't behind firewall )
how to fix , or debug this issue , please advise
UPDATE:
sorry I might forget to write that i had prefixed my bundle with the {_locale} like this
in my routing.yml
DaghoSiteBundle:
resource: "#DaghoSiteBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
prefix: /{_locale}
requirements:
_locale: ar|en|fr
defaults: { _locale: ar }
I think you must change your route patterns to include your _locale parameter. Instead of, for example, pattern: /admin/logincheck you should use pattern: {_locale}/admin/logincheck
You can also debug your routes by using a console command app/console router:debug.
I am not 100% sure this fixes your problem, but I hope it helps you gather more info about your issue.
Why dont you try
logincheck:
pattern: /admin/login_check
#defaults: { _controller: DaghoSiteBundle:Login:logincheck , _locale: ar }
#requirements:
#_locale: (ar|en|fr)
This solved my problem, but my situation is simple and doesn't have the {_locale} functionality, but maybe it will help you anyway.
From the Security chapter of the Symf2 Book:
Common Pitfalls #3: Be sure /login_check is behind a firewall.
In your security.yml file it looks like your check_path route is /{_locale}/admin/logincheck, and your secured path is anything that's behind ^/{_locale}/admin/.*
so that seems to be good.
You might want to try removing the .* (do you really need it?)
and further down the file in the access control section you provide a specific entry to make sure the check_path requires authentication:
- { path: ^/ar/admin/logincheck, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
Maybe try specifying this instead:
- { path: ^/{_locale}/admin/logincheck, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
But actually, I was wondering, can you even use {placeholders} in the security.yml pattern values? I know you can in the routing file, but I'm not sure if the security yml works the same way? I don't see it being used in any examples in the main symf2 book in the security or routing chapters?
