Symfony2 - FOSUserBundle - Multiple Login Locations

Question

I\'m using the FOSUserBundle and I require the ability to login from 2 different routes(or more). These routes will have different templates and also login to different area

Answer 1

I was stucked with the same question for a while and then i created a solution on my own. I knew there must be an easy solution...

I've submitted pull request which allows you to create new login templates more easily. Check the pull request here: https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/pull/1186.

There is also another quite easy way how to achieve this. Extend SecurityController and change renderLogin method with following content

protected function renderLogin(array $data, $template)
{
    return $this->container->get('templating')->renderResponse('YourBundle:Security:login.html.twig');
}

Then create a route to your newly created controller:

admin.login:
    pattern: /admin/login
    defaults: { _controller: YourBundle:Security:login }

After this only you have to do is to alter your security config accordingly. Change your form_login login_path to /admin/login and you are good to go.

Here's what I eventually came up with, basically the both use the same firewall and share the same context so when I login via the normal login they also get access to the admin(assuming they are admin)

firewalls:
    admin:
        context:            site
        switch_user:        true
        pattern:            /admin(.*)
        form_login:
            provider:       fos_userbundle
            login_path:     /admin/login
            success_handler: admin_authentication_handler
            use_forward:    false
            check_path:     /admin/login_check
            failure_path:   null
            use_referer:    true
            always_use_default_target_path: true
            default_target_path: /admin/
        logout:
            path:           /admin/logout
            target:         /admin/login
        anonymous:    true
    public:
        pattern:   ^/
        context:            site
        form_login:
            login_path:     /login
            success_handler: authentication_handler
            failure_handler: authentication_handler
            provider: fos_userbundle
        anonymous: true
        logout: true

Of course if you need to make an AJAX login box you need to override the success and failure handlers and check to see if the request is a XmlHttpRequest and return the result of the login.

Could you post your template?

Have you edited the path correctly in the template?

<form action="{{ path('form_submit') }}" method="post" {{ form_enctype(form) }}>

You want to send the form to the correct controller.
