Question

I am using FOSUserBundle and FOSUserFacebookBundle to authenticate my users. The issue is that when I visit my /login page. I have two text field with a username and password. When I input my username and password, I am getting the following error:

The Facebook user could not be retrieved from the session.

This is such a weird error because I am logging in the user via a form and not via facebook, but it’s as if I am logging in the user via facebook. So I played around with my source code and here’s my security.yml/firewall settings:

 firewalls:
            main:
                pattern: ^/.*
                form_login:
                    login_path: /login
                    check_path: /login_check     
                    provider: fos_userbundle
                fos_facebook:
                    app_url: "http://apps.facebook.com/myapp/"
                    server_url: "http://localhost/Symfony/web/app_dev.php"
                    login_path: /login
                    check_path: /login_check
                    default_target_path: /
                    provider: my_fos_facebook_provider
                anonymous: true
                logout: 
                    path:   /logout
                    target: / 
                    handlers: ["fos_facebook.logout_handler"]
                #http_basic:
                #    realm: "Secured Demo Area"
            login:
                pattern:  ^/login$
                security: false

What I am worried about is that the /login_check, will check for facebook session to exists all the time, which I don’t really want. When I change the login_path and check_path for the fos_facebook, everything works just fine. Any idea what might cause this and how to solve this issue?

Your check_path should be different for form_login and fos_facebook. For example:

           form_login:
                login_path: /login
                check_path: /login_check     
                provider: fos_userbundle
            fos_facebook:
                app_url: "http://apps.facebook.com/myapp/"
                server_url: "http://localhost/Symfony/web/app_dev.php"
                login_path: /login
                check_path: /login_check/facebook
                default_target_path: /
                provider: my_fos_facebook_provider
