Symfony2: After successful login event, perform set of actions

You can add a listener to the security.interactive_login event.

attach your listener like so. In this example I also pass the security context and session as dependencies.

Note: SecurityContext is deprecated as of Symfony 2.6. Please refer to http://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-2-6-security-component-improvements

parameters:   # ...   account.security_listener.class: Company\AccountBundle\Listener\SecurityListenerservices:   # ...   account.security_listener:        class: %account.security_listener.class%        arguments: ['@security.context', '@session']        tags:            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: security.interactive_login, method: onSecurityInteractiveLogin }

and in your listener you can store whatever you want on the session. In this case I set the users timezone.

<?phpnamespace Company\AccountBundle\Listener;use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\SecurityContextInterface;use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session;use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Event\InteractiveLoginEvent;class SecurityListener{   public function __construct(SecurityContextInterface $security, Session $session)   {      $this->security = $security;      $this->session = $session;   }   public function onSecurityInteractiveLogin(InteractiveLoginEvent $event)   {        $timezone = $this->security->getToken()->getUser()->getTimezone();        if (empty($timezone)) {            $timezone = 'UTC';        }        $this->session->set('timezone', $timezone);   }}

You can even fetch the user instance from the event itself, no need to inject the token storage!

public function onSecurityInteractiveLogin(InteractiveLoginEvent $event){    $event->getAuthenticationToken()->getUser()}
