Symfony: Firewalls, multiple login forms

Question

I am not new to symfony by any means, but I\'ve always used FOSUserBundle which by default prevents one from having 2 different login forms for authenticating t

Answer 1

The problem is that after logging into the "secured_area" firewall you get redirect to "/" which is behind the "members_area" firewall. You can't access "members_area" with your credentials from "secured_area" (at least not by default). Read the details on http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/security.html#reference-security-firewall-context .

If you have a look at the security configuration (http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/security.html) you can see that the default_target_path for form_login is "/". Just change this to /admin:

security:
    ...

    firewalls:
    ...
        secured_area:
            pattern:    ^/admin
            ...
            form_login:
                check_path: /admin/login_check
                login_path: /admin/login
                default_target_path: /admin
            logout:
    ...

The alternative is to share the context as described in the first link (http://symfony.com/doc/current/reference/configuration/security.html#reference-security-firewall-context).
