KnpUGuardBundle

Add simple and beautiful authentication to your Symfony project.

This library is deprecated since Symfony 2.8 and won't work with Symfony 3.

The original purpose was to get feedback and use-cases from people so that we can merge this feature into Symfony itself (see symfony/symfony#14673).

Now it's good (see news from Symfony).

Upgrade to Symfony 3

On Symfony 2.8, use the official Guard component.

Step 1 - Remove the library from your composer.json

Be sure to be on Symfony 2.8, open composer.json file and remove the library:

Before:

{
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.5",
        "symfony/symfony": "~2.8",
        "...": "...",
        "knpuniversity/guard-bundle": "~0.1@dev"
    },
}

Now:

{
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.5",
        "symfony/symfony": "~2.8",
        "...": "..."
    },
}

Step 2 - Remove it from your AppKernel

If you're using the Symfony framework, remove the KnpUGuardBundle from AppKernel.php.

Step 3 - Modify firewall(s)

Open and modify security.yml file, replace in your firewall(s) key(s) knpu_guard by guard:

Before:

# app/config/security.yml
security:
    # ...

    firewalls:
        # ...

        main:
            anonymous: ~
            logout: ~

            knpu_guard:
                authenticators:
                    - app.form_login_authenticator

            # maybe other things, like form_login, remember_me, etc
            # ...

Now:

# app/config/security.yml
security:
    # ...

    firewalls:
        # ...

        main:
            anonymous: ~
            logout: ~

            guard:
                authenticators:
                    - app.form_login_authenticator

            # maybe other things, like form_login, remember_me, etc
            # ...

Step 4 - Update Authenticator(s)

Update uses in Authenticator(s) class(es).

Warning: checkCredentials() NOW must return true in order for authentication to be successful. In KnpUGuard, if you did NOT throw an AuthenticationException, it would pass.

Before:

use KnpU\Guard\Authenticator\AbstractFormLoginAuthenticator;
use KnpU\Guard\...;
// ...

class FormLoginAuthenticator extends AbstractFormLoginAuthenticator
{
    // ...

    public function checkCredentials($credentials, UserInterface $user)
    {
        // ...
        
        if ($password !== 'correctPassword') {
            throw new AuthenticationException();
        }

        // do nothing, allow authentication to pass
    }

    // ...
}

Now:

use Symfony\Component\Security\Guard\Authenticator\AbstractFormLoginAuthenticator;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Guard\...;
// ...

class FormLoginAuthenticator extends AbstractFormLoginAuthenticator
{
    // ...

    public function checkCredentials($credentials, UserInterface $user)
    {
        // ...
        
        if ($password !== 'correctPassword') {
            // returning anything NOT true will cause an authentication failure
            return;
            // or, you can still throw an AuthenticationException if you want to
            // throw new AuthenticationException();
        }

        // return true to make authentication successful
        return true;
    }

    // ...
}

Step 5 - Yes we can test it

Upgrade to Symfony 3 (won't be worst than from Symfony 1 to Symfony 2) ;-)

Documentation

Basic Usage

Check out the Tutorial for real documentation. But here's the basic idea.

Guard works by creating a single class - an authenticator - that handles everything about how you want to authenticate your users. And authenticator implements KnpU\Guard\GuardAuthenticatorInterface)

Here are some real-world examples from the tutorial:

Goal	Code	Tutorial
Authenticate by reading an `X-TOKEN` header	ApiTokenAuthenticator.php	How to Authenticate via an API Token
Form login authentication	FormLoginAuthenticator.php	How to Create a Login Form
Social Login (Facebook)	FacebookAuthenticator.php	Social Login with Facebook
