how to build your own security system for your Symphony application

It has never been easier! Even though authentication and authorization are big topics which can get quite complex, Symfony provides us with all the tools we need to set up an awesome security system. We are going to take a look at both topics and will create an example which stores the user data in a MySQL database (Doctrine) and provides a HTML form for authentication, step by step. Let's have some fun!

• Part 1: Authentication
  1. create the user entity
  2. migrate the user entity
  3. insert dummy users
  4. create an authenticator
• Part 2: Authorization
