getting authenticated user onAuthenticationSuccess - php

Question

I have the following authentication handler:
class LoginAuthSuccessHandler implements AuthenticationSuccessHandlerInterface, AuthenticationFailureHandlerInterface
{
private $router;
private $container;
/**
* Constructor
* #param RouterInterface $router
*/
public function __construct(RouterInterface $router, $container)
{
$this->router = $router;
$this->container = $container;
}
public function onAuthenticationSuccess(Request $request, TokenInterface $token)
{
if ($request->isXmlHttpRequest()) {
$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
$result = array('success' => true, 'user' => $user);
return new Response(json_encode($result));
} else {
$route = $this->router->generate('ShopiousMainBundle_profile');
$referrer_url = $request->server->get('HTTP_REFERER');
if (strstr($referrer_url, '/items/')) {
$route = $referrer_url;
}
return new RedirectResponse($route);
}
}
public function onAuthenticationFailure(Request $request, AuthenticationException $exception)
{
if ($request->isXmlHttpRequest()) {
$result = array('success' => false, 'message' => $exception->getMessage());
return new Response(json_encode($result));
} else {
// Handle non XmlHttp request here
}
}
}
why is it that:
$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
returns null? how do i get the authenticated user at this point?

Answer 1

You should use the $token variable you are receiving as an argument instead of $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken().
$user = $token->getUser();

Answer 2

public function onAuthenticationSuccess(Request $request, TokenInterface $token)
{
$user = $token->getUser();
}
that's all ;)

Answer 3

maibe you don't set your provider in security.yml.
security:
provider:
example:
entity: {class Acme\AuctionBundle\Entity\User, property: username}
Replace the Bundle and the entity by yours.

Answer 4

The only way I found was to inject the entityManager,
calls:
- [setEntityManager,[#doctrine.orm.entity_manager]]
get the username from the request and query for the user, using that username.
$userRepo->findByEmail($request->get('_username'));
