Symfony 2 - FOSUserBundle - how to integrate in API
I have this problem too.I found the best solution is this
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authentication\Token\UsernamePasswordToken;class YourController extends Controller{//Other Methods..public function loginAction(Request $request){ try{ $token = $this->get('security.authentication.manager')->authenticate(new UsernamePasswordToken('username', 'password', 'firewall')); $this->get('security.context')->setToken($token); } catch(BadCredentialsException $e){ return new Response("Bad credentials", 403); } return new Response("success");}}
I used the FOSRestBundle.
This bundle is very powerful and simple to implement.The documentation is pretty complete.
The github link of FOSRestBundle here
Hope that it helps
