Symfony2 remember me does not work with fos user bundle - php

Question

I'm currently trying to implement the remember me functionality in a Symfony2 project following this guide http://symfony.com/doc/master/cookbook/security/remember_me.html.
(I'm currently developing in locale)
So my currently configuration in the security.yml is:
form_login:
[...]
remember_me: true
remember_me:
key: secretKey
lifetime: 31536000 # 365 days in seconds
path: /
domain: localhost # Defaults to the current domain from $_SERVER
access_control:
- { path: ^/admin/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin/login-check$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin, role: [IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED, ROLE_ADMIN] }
The "REMEMBERME" cookie is created at login and it's still present after I close the browser window. When I open the browser again the cookie is still there, but it gets deleted when I try to access the /admin path and then I get redirected to the login page.
Can't really get my head around is...has anybody encountered problems like this?
Thanks

Maybe there is another rule matched in your access_control
from here: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/security.html#securing-url-patterns-access-control
You can define as many URL patterns as you need - each is a regular expression. BUT, only one will be matched...
Also read this: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/access_control.html
Basic solution
"Remember me" function in FosUserBundle 1.3.5 (with Symfony 2.6) works for me. I just want to be logged in on my page (see user name, picture ...), after browser was closed.
There is a difference between 'IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY' and 'IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED'.
In my twig:
{% if is_granted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED') %}
...
{% endif %}
In my security.yml I used default configuration from Symfony Cookbook (How to Add "Remember Me" Login Functionality). Otherwise it is plain security.yml form FossUserBundle Github documentation.
# app/config/security.yml
security:
providers:
fos_userbundle:
id: fos_user.user_provider.username
encoders:
FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface: sha512
firewalls:
main:
pattern: ^/
form_login:
provider: fos_userbundle
csrf_provider: form.csrf_provider
logout: true
anonymous: true
remember_me:
key: "%secret%"
lifetime: 31536000 # 365 days in seconds
path: /
domain: ~ # Defaults to the current domain from $_SERVER
dev:
pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
security: false
access_control:
- { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin/, role: ROLE_ADMIN }
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: ROLE_ADMIN
P.S I have to clear:cache to have it work in IE11
