FOS user pool authentication

Question

How does the FOS User Bundle authenticate a user with this service container?

$this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser(); 

I want to manipulate the authentication process. Where should I look in the kit?

Answer 1

In fact, FOSUserBundle does not authenticate. It actually provides a db service provider. Part of the authentication is done by the internal authentication provider form_login Symfony2. If you want to create your own authentication provider, check this entry in the cookbook.
