LswSecureControllerBundle

Provide '@Secure' annotation to secure actions in controllers by specifying required roles.

NB: This bundle was created because the JMSSecurityExtraBundle is no longer provided in Symfony 2.3 (due to a license incompatibility) and this was the only feature we needed.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3
• Symfony 2.3

Installation

Installation is broken down in the following steps:

1. Download LswSecureControllerBundle using composer
2. Enable the Bundle

Step 1: Download LswSecureControllerBundle using composer

Add LswSecureControllerBundle in your composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "leaseweb/secure-controller-bundle": "*",
        ...
    }
}

Now tell composer to download the bundle by running the command:

$ php composer.phar update leaseweb/secure-controller-bundle

Composer will install the bundle to your project's vendor/leaseweb directory.

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Lsw\SecureControllerBundle\LswSecureControllerBundle(),
    );
}

Usage

As an example we show how to use the '@Secure' annotation in the AcmeDemoBundle to secure the "hello world" page requiring the role "ROLE_TEST" to execute.

In src/Acme/DemoBundle/Controller/SecuredController.php you should add the following line on top, but under the namespace definition:

use Lsw\SecureControllerBundle\Annotation\Secure;

To require the "ROLE_TEST" for "helloAction" in the "SecuredController" you should add the line @Secure(roles="ROLE_TEST") to the DocBlock of the "helloAction" like this:

    /**
     * @Secure(roles="ROLE_TEST")
     * @Route("/hello", defaults={"name"="World"}),
     * @Route("/hello/{name}", name="_demo_secured_hello")
     * @Template()
     */
    public function helloAction($name)
    {
        return array('name' => $name);
    }

Or to the DocBlock of the controller like this:

    /**
     * @Secure(roles="ROLE_TEST")
     */
    class AdminController extends Controller
    {
      ...
    }

If the user does not have the role the following error should appear when accessing the action:

Current user is not granted required role "ROLE_TEST".
403 Forbidden - AccessDeniedHttpException
1 linked Exception:

If you put the "@Secure" annotation on an action that is not behind a firewall you get this error:

@Secure(...) annotation found without firewall on "helloAction" in 
".../src/Acme/DemoBundle/Controller/DemoController.php"
500 Internal Server Error - AuthenticationCredentialsNotFoundException

Note that you can configure the firewall in app/config/security.yml.
