Question

I\'m working on a Symfony 2 application where the user must select a profile during the login process.

Users may have multiples profiles to work with and they only know

Answer 1

The only way I could authenticate my users on a controller is by making a subrequest and then redirecting. Here is my code, I'm using silex but you can easily adapt it to symfony2:

$subRequest = Request::create($app['url_generator']->generate('login_check'), 'POST', array('_username' => $email, '_password' => $password, $request->cookies->all(), array(), $request->server->all());

$response = $app->handle($subRequest, HttpKernelInterface::MASTER_REQUEST, false);

return $app->redirect($app['url_generator']->generate('curriculos.editar'));
