I'm having difficulties to fully understand the concept of the client creation explained here.
I followed the post to set up the OAuthBundle, and tried to make the changes needed to comply with FOSUser. Though I'm not sure it's perfect.
My situation
My Website is a RESTFul API, which return json or xml only. My frontend will be in AngularJS
I combined FOSUser, FOSRest and FOSOAuth, it's possible I'm having errors in the configuration.
The Problem
I finished setting up the first part of the article up to the doctrine:schema:update command. Now I'm supposed to create a client.
How can I set the security for parts of the ^/api for differents ROLES ?
example:
Anonymous users can access POST /api/users but not GET /api/users.
Only users with ROLE_ADMIN can access DELETE /api/users/{id}
For testing I'm using Postman (that support OAuth1 & 2, along with other means of auth).
Using expressions in security.yml
In order to secure certain routes by a conditional combination of (request)-method AND (user)-role ...
... you can make use of Expressions in your security.yml.
More information can be found in the documentation chapter Securing by an Expression.
Example
Only users with role ROLE_ADMIN shall be allowed to access /api/users/{id} using a DELETE request:
# app/config/security.yml
security:
# ...
access_control:
- path: "^/api/users/\d+$"
allow_if: "'DELETE' == request.getMethod() and has_role('ROLE_ADMIN')"
Regex explanation
^ begins with
\d+ one or more digits (= user id)
$ string end

I am trying to debug a Resque setup in an (inherited) app, and so I found that there is a route for resque at /hidden/resque that would be nifty to access, but I am unable to access the route. I am wondering what I need to do ... When I try to access that route I get a HTTP 500 due to this error being thrown:
Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\InsufficientAuthenticationException: Full authentication is required to access this resource.
I have tried accessing it both as a web page (after authenticating as an admin role on a different route) and using curl -H 'Authorization: Basic 9339034147964aebec6716c0110311d1' 'https://web.mysite/hidden/resque' -v. No go.
So what constitues "full authentication"? I am already logged in as an admin user on one of the other routes. Would I need to add anything more to the below config? This has not been setup by me, so I would not know if it ever worked.
app/config/routing.yml
ResqueBundle:
resource: "#ResqueBundle/Resources/config/routing.xml"
prefix: /hidden/resque
app/config/security.yml
access_control:
- { path: ^/hidden, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
According to the docs:
IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY: This is similar to IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED, but stronger. Users who are logged in only because of a "remember me cookie" will have IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED but will not have IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY.
How can I be "more logged in" than using a cookie? Should I send a basic auth header with username and password base64 encoded?
If you ask for full authentication.
I.E:
/**
* Requiring IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY
*
* #IsGranted("IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY", message="Nope, no access")
*/
Then when you are logging in with an user, your Authorization Checker must have granted you the IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY status in order to have access.
As explained in the docs:
IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY: This is similar to IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED, but stronger. Users who are logged in only because of a "remember me cookie" will have IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED but will not have IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY.
You will be completely Authenticated if you manually log in, and not via a cookie. If you are using a command that remembers your credentials, that might be the issue.
Check Doc nº3 to see whether your actual way of entering that route falls inside the IS_REMEMBERED status. Even maybe you end up prefering using the less restrictive IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED
Check the different documentations here:
https://symfony.com/doc/3.4/security.html#checking-to-see-if-a-user-is-logged-in-is-authenticated-fully
https://symfony.com/doc/3.4/security.html#learn-more

I am using multiple users providers in my project.
My security.yml looks like this :
security:
...
firewalls:
usertype1:
pattern: ^/root/usertype1_area
provider: type1_provider
usertype2
pattern: ^/root
provider: type2_provider
...
Everything is working fine and I can't login with wrong user types at the right pattern, except that I noticed that if I throw an exception in one of my providers, say type1_provider , and try to log in with the /root/login path (which should use only type2_provider), Symfony is going through type1_provider as well as type2_provider, and I get an exception.
The same is also true with /root/usertype1_area/login when I throw at type2_provider.
This is a problem to me because I want to be able to access type2 login when the type1_provider is shut down.
Any guesses ? Is this normal behavior ?
EDIT : As pointed out by Alexander Keil, it was not clear in my question what I was trying to do
One of my providers relies on a 3d party service, and I want it to throw when this service is down, but I still want to be able to access the other login, which is not supposed to rely on the provider that is throwing. Is there a way I can achieve this ?
You can use the method "supportsClass" in your provider. Return false if the current user class does not support the loaded provider. See Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserProviderInterface
I come to you because I have a little concern about the management of users and their Permissions with Symfony2.
Let me explain:
I set up the FOSUserBundle:
What I'd like to do now is a rights management. I have an entity 'Post'.
I have users with roles specified below.
ROLE_GUEST - VIEW,RATE
ROLE_USER - VIEW,CREATE,RATE,EDIT_OWN
ROLE_EDITOR - VIEW,CREATE,RATE,EDIT,DELETE
I want to set permission to each roles for performing certain actions.
Thank you :)
If i understand your necessity correctly you want to have a security layer based on those roles. You can do this in may ways:
The symfony default way -
you can configure the security layer of symfony like in the example below
# app/config/security.yml
security:
# ...
access_control:
- { path: ^/post/view, roles: VIEW }
- { path: ^/post/rate, roles: RATE }
# etc
This will take care of route access control. More info on http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/access_control.html
For more complex roles like EDIT_OWN, you can take the direct approach
if (!$post->isAuthor($this->getUser())) {
$this->denyAccessUnlessGranted('EDIT', $post);
// or without the shortcut:
//
// use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AccessDeniedException;
// ...
//
// if (!$this->get('security.authorization_checker')->isGranted('edit', $post)) {
// throw $this->createAccessDeniedException();
// }
} else {
$this->denyAccessUnlessGranted('EDIT_OWN', $post);
}
For all this and more you can check the symfony site http://symfony.com/doc/current/best_practices/security.html
For even more advanced roles or ACL requirement also take a look here https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/security/authorization.html and at the authorization voters https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/security/authorization.html#voters
In the 4 links I provided in this post you should find all you need to implement RBAC as well as ACL. You can also find information about some annotations you may want to use. Also there are some extensions to the symfony security layer that may come in handy depending on the symfony version you are working on like JMS\SecurityExtraBundle.
Hope this help,

I have application which base on logging users by FOSOAuthServerBundle and I want to test actions in this application.
So... In Sf2 are special config file for testing environment, config_test.yml and I've put this code:
security:
firewalls:
default:
anonymous: ~
In theory it should solve my problem, because this firewall allows anyone access any action. I've put it in config_test.yml, so it should work only then I'm testing application. Good solution, I was thinking.
But Sf threw this error:
You are not allowed to define new elements for path "security.firewalls". Please define all elements for this path in one config file.
My questions is:
How can I allow access actions without logging while testing application by PHPUnit?
You can't add/define new elements but you can modify them.
In config_test.yml instead default firewall use name of your real firewall used in security.yml.
And better will be using http_basic: ~ instead anonymous: ~ so your tests will can behave like real authenticated user.
Nice cookbook here: http://symfony.com/doc/2.8/cookbook/testing/http_authentication.html
I am trying to adjust FOSUserBundle to work with my Neo4j database and I cant seem to get it working. After a long time of trying to implement my own user system without any luck (Setting up NEO4j in Symfony2), I started trying to use the FOSUserBundle.
I have used the following articles and repositories:
https://github.com/ikwattro/Neo4jUserBundle
I have taken this and copied all of the files into my UserBundle. I have changed the namespaces.
I have taken the graph manager from here: https://github.com/ikwattro/KwattroNeo4jOGMBundle
For the rest, I have followed the FOSUserBundle documentation.
Now, when I go to the registration form, all fields appear and I can fill in my preferred credentials. This works. After I click on submit I get redirected to the success page, on which an alert overlay is displayed:
An error occurred while loading the web debug toolbar (500: Internal
Server Error). Do you want to open the profiler?
If I then enter the profiler, I can see that I have successfully been authorized and logged in as the user that I just created. The data is also successfully saved in my neo4j database.
The problem now is that if I go to any other page of my Symfony project, I am logged in as Anonymous again. And If I go to the login page, the form is displayed correctly, but it always returns: Invalid credentials.
I am guessing, that there is something wrong with my sessions or my security?
This is my security.yml:
security:
encoders:
FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface: bcrypt
Neo4jUserBundle\Entity\User: bcrypt
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN
providers:
fos_userbundle:
id: neo4j.user_provider.username
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
csrf_provider: security.csrf.token_manager
logout: true
anonymous: true
access_control:
- { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }
I dont know if this information can help or is relevant, but in the profiler under the Request right after registration (when the user is still authenticated correctly) this is the session information:

Any help or hints would be appreciated.
UPDATE [21.07.2015]
I have now created a repository: https://github.com/JoranBeaufort/Neo4jUserBundle (I hope this works, the first time I have used GitHub)
I guess that there is something off with the session handling?
Another thing to point out is, that the dependency injection does not seem to do anything. I must be missing a few vital things.
It would be great to be able to offer a Neo4jUserBundle that works out of the box with FOSUserBundle and can be configured in the config file of the Symfony project. Great and vital would also be the authentication with the database (use username and password to connect to neo4j).
UPDATE [22.07.2015]
I have changed the bundlename and I think I have finally gotten the DependencyInjection to work. I'm not quite sure but I think I had a problem with how I named my classes.
I have also tried what you suggested with findUserById. I have written a controller which takes the route myapp.com/neo4juser/debug/finduserbyid/{id} and then uses the findUserById method to return the user. This is working. I have a user in my Neo4j-Database with an ID = 68 and an email=test#test.test. If I now enter myapp.com/neo4juser/debug/finduserbyid/68 the page is loaded displaying the right email of that user.
TWIG can be found here: https://github.com/JoranBeaufort/Neo4jUserBundle/blob/master/Resources/views/Debug/finduserbyid.html.twig
And the CONTROLLER here: https://github.com/JoranBeaufort/Neo4jUserBundle/blob/master/Controller/DebugController.php
The methods in the UserManager seem to be returning the desired objects.
Does this help in figuring out why the login does not work in any way? Does the serialization have anything to do with the error or the encryption type? Or could it be something to do with the CSRF? Any further hints?
UPDATE [23.07.2015]
When using in_memory as the provider and setting up an in_memory user, the login works. So now I have narrowed down the problem to the provider.
I am getting closer! Now the error in the dev.log file reads:
[2015-07-23 17:11:54] security.INFO: Authentication request failed. {"exception":"[object] (Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Exception\\BadCredentialsException(code: 0): Bad credentials. at bla/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Security/Core/Authentication/Provider/UserAuthenticationProvider.php:73, Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Exception\\UsernameNotFoundException(code: 0): Username \"test\" does not exist. at bla/src/Neo4jUserBundle/Security/UserProvider.php:42)"} []
Important is the part `Username "test" does not exist.I am guessing this means that something is not working in the user provider. Can anyone spot what the problem might be? The Provider which I am calling can be found here: https://github.com/JoranBeaufort/Neo4jUserBundle/tree/master/Security
Ok. I opened a PR for some tweaks, but I couldn't get the stuff working.
The tweaks I've done are adding the possibility to define a user and password for via the neo4j_user config, and load the services.yml file in the DI extension.
When I register a user, it is well created in the database. However for fetching a user, after some debug, I can see that the underlying client (neo4jphp combined with neo4j-php-ogm) are using the legacy indexes and it is throwing some errors at this stage.
I can not help further except to tell you to try to not use an ogm in the beginning and try with raw cypher queries.
I'm afraid trying to update both libraries used can be difficult in a first instance.
I would say the problem, as of 27/12/2015, is that UserManager, at line 73, does not return the found user (is a void function). I have not tried it yet and can´t for a few days, and maybe it´s an answer not sought anymore, but I´m pretty sure that´s the problem.
IDEs won´t find it a problems due to the #return tag:
* Finds a user by username
*
* #param string $username
*
* #return UserInterface
*/
public function findUserByUsername($username)
{
$this->findUserBy(array('usernameCanonical' => $this->canonicalizeUsername($username)));
}
