TokenAuthenticationBundle

This bundle allow you to use a token authentication mechanism similar to OAuth but much more simplified.

Installation

First, enable bundle in your AppKernel by adding it to the registerBundles method:

...
            new Youshido\TokenAuthenticationBundle\TokenAuthenticationBundle(),

Then create provider and firewall under app/config/security.yml (if you don't have encoder yet – might as well add it here):

security:
    providers:
        api_user_provider:
            id: token_user_provider

    encoders:
        AppBundle\Entity\User: md5

    firewalls:
        api_firewall:
            pattern: ^/.*
            stateless: true
            simple_preauth:
                authenticator: token_authenticator
            provider: api_user_provider
            anonymous: ~

Now add your model class name to the service declaration app/config/config.yml:

token_authentication:
    user_model: "AppBundle\\Entity\\User"
