Symfony2 Authenticating Someone with a Custom Entity Provider ERROR - php

Question

I faced a problem when trying to implement the Custom Entity Provider for user authentication. I got the Mapping Exception that my entity is not a valid or mapped super class. Here is my Actual Error:
------------- Exception/Error Start --------------

Lets describe my application
I have three databases DB-A, DB-B, DB-C and make three database connections in config.yml file which are default: DB-A, DB_B: DB-B, DB_C: DB-C
default connection is configured with default_entity_manager ORM, other entity managers DB_B uses connection DB_B and mapping with MIGPatBundle, DB_C uses connection DB_C and also mapping with MIGPatBundle.
My UmUsers entity resides in MIGPatBundle and we need to validate it in DB-B database.
I explain these elaborately because if i change the default_entity_manager ORM from default to DB_B then it works fine.
Here is my files

Actually i have a deadline to complete this task. I will be very much glade to you if someone can give me the solution.

Answer 1

If you have a look at vendor/symfony/src/Symfony/Bundle/SecurityBundle/Resources/config/security.xml, you'll see this:
<service id="security.user.provider.entity" class="%security.user.provider.entity.class%" abstract="true" public="false" >
<argument type="service" id="security.user.entity_manager" />
</service>
<service id="security.user.entity_manager" alias="doctrine.orm.entity_manager" public="false" />
I think you need to override the security.user.entity_manager , but I am not sure how (maybe adding some lines in security.yml will do the trick), and since it is not public, I am not sure whether you can.
If this does not work, maybe you could report an issue about this.
