check_path not found with multiple firewalls in Symfony 2

Question

I'm trying to setup a backend and frontend firewall system in Symfony 2. I have two login forms, one for the frontend and another one for the admin control panel. Different providers and so on. My configuration looks like this:

security:
    firewalls:
        backend:
            pattern:    ^/admin
            anonymous:  true
            provider:   admin_users
            form_login:
                login_path: /admin/login
                check_path: /admin/login_check
                default_target_path: /admin

        secured_area:
            pattern:    ^/
            provider:   normal_users
            anonymous:  true
            form_login: ~

    access_control:
        - { path: ^/admin/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
        - { path: ^/admin, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
        - { path: ^/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

And my routing.yml:

login:
    path:     /login
    defaults: { _controller: MyFrontendBundle:Default:login }

login_check:
    path:     /login_check

admin_login:
    path:     /admin/login
    defaults: { _controller: MyBackendBundle:Default:login }

admin_login_check:
    path:     /admin/login_check

Seems right, but i'm having the following error: Unable to find the controller for path "/admin/login_check". Maybe you forgot to add the matching route in your routing configuration

Any ideas? :)

Answer 1

This solution I use in my projects. Hope this will work with two login forms too.

Add stub for controller

admin_login_check:
    path:     /admin/login_check
    defaults: { _controller: AcmeDemoBundle:Default:adminLoginCheck }

Action stub. This action will never be reached, but "controller not found" error will gone.

// src/Acme/DemoBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php
public function adminLoginCheckAction()
{
    return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl('admin_login'));
}

Answer 2

Your url mapping seems to be right,

Please check if you have correct check_path (/admin/login_check) in your admin controller.

or

Try adding login_check under access_control as below,

- { path: ^/admin/login_check, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }

I had similar issue when I was trying to use firewalls with overlapping url patterns. The first firewall did not have check_path ( I was using http_basic in first firewall) and in second firwall I was using form_login. I had to change URL mapping.
