Check password and create user manually with FOSUserBundle

Question

I'm using FOSUserBundle in my application. I would like to do two things via HTTP services:

1. Check password. The service could look like this (the password wouldn't be encrypted):

   public function checkPasswordValidity($userId, $password) {     $user = $this->getDoctrine()         ->getRepository('MyCompany\UserBundle\Entity\User')         ->find($userId);      if (specialFunction($user , $password))         echo 'Valid Password';     else         echo 'Invalid Password'; } 

2. Create a new user via another HTTP service. The parameters would be the username and the password.

Answer 1

1. Check password:

   $encoder_service = $this->get('security.encoder_factory'); $encoder = $encoder_service->getEncoder($user); $encoded_pass = $encoder->encodePassword($password, $user->getSalt());  //then compare    $user->getPassword() and $encoded_pass 

2. Create a new user:

   $userManager = $this->get('fos_user.user_manager'); $user = $userManager->createUser(); $user->setUsername($login); $user->setPlainPassword($pass); ... $userManager->updateUser($user); 

Answer 2

For me works:

$encoder_service = $this->get('security.encoder_factory'); $encoder = $encoder_service->getEncoder($user); if ($encoder->isPasswordValid($user->getPassword(), $password, $user->getSalt()) {} 

I did not test second question, but I think it is answered already.
