Configuring authentication symfony2 - php

Question

I'm trying to configure authentication on symfony2 with this configuration:
Security.yml
security:
encoders:
Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: plaintext
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
providers:
in_memory:
memory:
users:
user: { password: userpass, roles: [ 'ROLE_USER' ] }
admin: { password: adminpass, roles: [ 'ROLE_ADMIN' ] }
firewalls:
admin_area:
pattern: ^/admin
provider: in_memory
anonymous: ~
form_login:
login_path: login
check_path: login_check
logout:
path: /logout
target: /
access_control:
- { path: ^/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/admin, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
/src/MyBundle/Resources/Routing.yml
ies_cierva_encuesta_backend_admin:
pattern: /admin
defaults: { _controller: Bundle:Default:admin }
login:
pattern: /login
defaults: { _controller: Bundle:Login:login }
login_check:
pattern: /login_check
logout:
pattern: /logout
src/Bundle/Controller/LoginController.php
<?php
namespace ...
use ...
class LoginController extends Controller {
public function loginAction(Request $request) {
$session = $request->getSession();
if ($request->attributes->has(SecurityContext::AUTHENTICATION_ERROR)) {
$error = $request->attributes->get(
SecurityContext::AUTHENTICATION_ERROR
);
} else {
$error = $session->get(SecurityContext::AUTHENTICATION_ERROR);
$session->remove(SecurityContext::AUTHENTICATION_ERROR);
}
return $this->render(
'Bundle:Security:login.html.twig',
array(
// last username entered by the user
'last_username' => $session->get(SecurityContext::LAST_USERNAME),
'error' => $error,
)
);
}
}
I'm getting this error:
"Unable to find the controller for path "/login_check". Maybe you forgot to add the matching route in your routing configuration?"
If I'm not wrong, this route doesn't need a Controller...

In http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/security.html, it is mentioned that
"Make sure that your check_path URL (e.g. /login_check) is behind the firewall you're using for your form login".
But the /login_check isn't behind the same firewall which you are using for form login.
firewalls:
admin_area:
pattern: ^/admin
provider: in_memory
anonymous: ~
form_login:
login_path: login
check_path: login_check
logout:
path: /logout
target: /
In the above configuration, pattern path "login_check" doesn't match "^/admin" pattern. Change the pattern accordingly to make it work.
