SF2 - FOS UserBundle can't create user, no encoder configured - symfony

I'm trying to set up the UserBundle from FOS for symfony 2. When creating a new User, it get an exception that no encoder has been configured.
If I do set up the encoder like this:
fos_user:
db_driver: orm
provider_key: fos_userbundle
class:
model:
user: Crm\MyBundle\Entity\User
group: FOS\UserBundle\Entity\DefaultGroup
encoder:
encode_as_base64: ~
algorithm: ~
iterations: ~
I get a new Exception: InvalidArgumentException.
If I remove iterations and algorithm, the new exception goes away, but then the old "no encoder configured" comes back.
To me it seems as the EncoderFactory in FOS\UserBundle\Security is never used, and the factory from symfony is used instead. I am not sure what to do with this, because frankly I don't know what this "encoder factory" does.
None could help on #symfony (IRC), and I found one other guy having the exact same problem: http://groups.google.com/group/symfony-users/browse_thread/thread/1e0f5797d9357295/d6cd0f7dfc721cbd?show_docid=d6cd0f7dfc721cbd
Thanks

So the problem was that I loaded my bundles in the wrong order... :)
If anyone else get this problem, make sure that this is the order in registerBundles() in AppKernel
new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle,
new FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserBundle(),

Symfony Class does not exist from Autoloader (User Providers)

The error is just a basic one. A class does not exist, and the error is actually very right. The class indeed does not exist. We're now working on Multi-Tenancy for this project, and there is where it currently gives up. This is the error;
Class "App\Entity\User" does not exist
It is a ReflectionException. For this we did a few things.
We have the following folder structure for our Symfony API-Platform instance;
- Controller
- Messenger
- Entity
--- Main
--- Tenant
- Repository
- ....
And I bet that here is where the problem lies. The User Entity is not App\Entity\User. The Class is in the Main folder, so is named App\Entity\Main\User. However, when trying to use the app, it will always return in an HTTP 500, with the error message given above. It tries to find the class, which isn't there.
So, this is a bit different. We needed to change the provider for the authentication as stated in the Symfony Documentation. We did this by modifying the security.yaml as stated in the documentation.
providers:
database_users:
entity:
class: App\Entity\Main\User
property: email
However, it still tries to use the other Entity. We've search the project, and there is absolutely no reference. We've emptied the cache and rebuild the docker-container, all to no avail. It still is looking for the class, which is not there, but in another folder inside there.
Are we missing something? The error Stack Trace is that it appears in the autoload_runtime.php, but even when dumping and regenerating this, it has no avail.
Firewall from security.yaml

# The user provider to use.

FOSUser on Symfony 3.3

This is similar to Symfony3 You have requested a non-existent service "validator.builder", while add FOSUserBundle, on vanilla Symfon3.3 instead of microkernel (in case that makes differences).
Problem:
I have a problem trying to set up FOSUser (v.2) on a Symfony 3.3:
[Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\AutowiringFailedException]
Cannot autowire service "validator.builder": argument "$node" of method
"Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\ValidationBuilder::__construct()"
references class Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\NodeDefinition"
but no such service exists.
Browsing through online API:
ValidationBuilder is marked up to the 3.2 branch, although exists in github
NodeDefinition is also marked up to v3.2, although exists in github
Does that mean that their documentation is not up to date with the master 3.3?
Or not maintained anymore?
Context:
Following the official documentation, I first faced these problems:
mailer_user cannot be null ; solved by editing parameters.yml:
parameters:
mailer_user: "me#example.com"
non-existent-service-validator-builder ; solved by declaring service validator.builder
non existent parameter kernel secret ; solved by duplicating a line in parameters.yml:
parameters:
secret: <-generated-upon-install->
kernel.secret: <-duplicated-line->
I suppose there is a nice and clever way to get out of this problem, if anyone faced it yet?
Solved! In service.yml, do not declare service as
validator.builder:
class: Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\ValidationBuilder
But this way:
Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\ValidationBuilder:
autowire: true
Once again, the official documentation had the answer!

Symfony2 User permission managment

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,

Symfony2 + FOS OAuth bundle testing without authentication

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

How to use Neo4j with FOSUserBundle?

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:
Session Metadata

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)));
}
