using the create_user method in the UserFactoryUnterface implemented.

[William12345]

Hello,

I have not an user table in my project and the authentification is simple done with the cas server. I used an user provider which implements the UserFactoryInterface to run the create_user function. So, first of all, is it the best way to autenticate a user without an user provider like an user table ? If it is true, then, i return in the loaduserbyusername function an usernameNotFoundException to run the create_user function. In this function i create and return a user entity but it is not word. The create_user is running but i can't autenticate me.

Thanks your help.

William.

If you don't have a user table to work with you can use the in_memory provider, as demonstrated in the documentation under the Basic Example: HTTP Authentication section. I am not 100% clear on what you are trying to do with the UserFactoryInterface, but if you use the in_memory provider you shouldn't need to create a user programmatically - users should be defined in the config file as shown in the documentation.

If you do want to store users in a table, then I recommend the FOSUserBundle.
