Unexpected result

[jonatasfreitasv]

Hello,

what is happening is the following.

I'm testing the REST api in sandbox NelmioDoc.

The first time I open the browser, I try the request without sending the wsse header and returns 401, expected result.

When I add the header WSSE, returns 200, expected result.

When I make a new request with the same header, returns 401, expected result.

Now the possible problem, when I remove the header and make the request again, returns 200, not expected.

Why does it happen? Should not deny request, and the header wsse not exist?

Hi Jonatas,

thanks for getting in touch!

It sounds to me that your API is not stateless... Could you perhaps print out the user each call? I've got a feeling that when taking the WSSE header (after the 200 with WSSE header) the app still remembers the user (session), which it definitely shouldn't...

Do let me know (perhaps provide some code snippets) how you get on!

Kind regards, David

P.S. If the WSSE header is not present, the WSSE authentication bundle does not demy the request - it just doesn't kick in WSSE authentication. There is a PR (#42) open to make this behaviour possible, but I'd prefer it to be configurable... Please do have a read through #42 as the issue you expect might be similar.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I test in NelmioAPIDoc Sandbox, direct request. Not have any code.

Somewhat related, shouldn't the example code in the docs have the user set their firewall to stateless? I believe that's a requirement for someone who wants to use an authentication provider like this.

Hi @bkosborne,

that is a good suggestion - WSSE auth is stateless, but making that clearer in the firewall makes sense...

Would you mind sensing over a quick PR?

Kind regards, David
