Manual authenticate user - symfony

Question

I try to authenticate user:
<?php
/**
* #Route("/testLogin", name="testLogin")
*/
public function testLoginAction()
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$user = $em->getRepository('ApplicationDefaultBundle:User')->findOneBy(array('id' => 126));
$providerKey = 'main';
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, $providerKey, $user->getRoles());
$this->container->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('testCheck'));
}
/**
* #Route("/testCheck", name="testCheck")
*/
public function testCheckAction()
{
if (false === $this->get('security.context')->isGranted(
'IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED'
)) {
return new Response('Not logged');
}
$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
return new Response($user->getUsername.' is logged');
}
But I get permanent 302 redirect to /login page.

Code for authenticate I take from https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/blob/master/Controller/RegistrationController.php
Error in app/logs/dev.log:
redirecting to authentication entry point (No Authentication Provider found for token of class "Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken".) [] []
I can't access to site until I clean cookies.

Answer 1

Try code from this answer. In your case firewall name is secured_area:
// your controller action
public function myAction()
{
// Authenticating user
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, 'secured_area', $user->getRoles());
$this->get('security.token_storage')->setToken($token);
//For Symfony <= 2.3
//$this->get('security.context')->setToken($token);
$this->get('session')->set('_security_secured_area', serialize($token));
}

Verify that you have configured encoders section in security.yml, as configuration there has changed not very long time ago and it affects your problem.
