Following the Security provider documentation does not lead to working code

[aoloe]

By following the code snippets and the explanation on

https://github.com/silexphp/Silex/blob/master/doc/providers/security.rst

I could not get to a basic code that allows me to

• log in
• check the role
• logout

I got to the following code:

https://github.com/aoloe/php-silex-demo-security-path

Currently, I can log in but the status is not kept.
My current supposition is that the session information does not get stored and the Security module has no way to detect that I successfully logged in.

I've asked for help on Stackoverflow but got no answer:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38460658/authenticate-with-the-silex-security-examples

If somebody can point me to the wrong / missing bits, I'm willing to check the documentation file and make a pull request that make it easy(ier) to grasp the workings of the utilisation of the Security module.

I've found out that when I comment out is_granted() from the twig template, then everything works correctly...

why?

The error I get is:

@aoloe Do you still experience that with the latest Silex version?

Closing as this is quite old.
