Answer 1

This ain't no way to go, my friend. You should use a default Symfony Security to cover that for you...

Answer 2

If you wanna redirect from FilterControllerEvent you should use this one:

public function onKernelController(FilterControllerEvent $event)
{
    // do something
    $event->setController(function() use ($redirectUrl) {
        return new RedirectResponse($redirectUrl);
    });
}

Answer 3

You can't set a response to a FilterControllerEvent object. You need to listen for the kernel.request event because its GetResponseEvent object has the setResponse() method:

$route = 'route_name';

if ($route === $event->getRequest()->get('_route')) {
    return;
}

$url = $this->router->generate($route);
$response = new RedirectResponse($url);
$event->setResponse($response);

Answer 4

More ore less clear way to redirect on 'kernel.controller' event

public function onKernelController(FilterControllerEvent $event)
{
    /* @var $controller \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller */
    $controller = $event->getController()[0]; // PHP 5.4 or $controller = $controller[0];

    throw new HttpException(307, null, null, array('Location' => $controller->generateUrl('homepage')));
}

Here is a similar question about doing (almost) the same thing. It should give you a clue.
