Question

I’m trying to write some loggin failure info in database from a custom authentication handler.
My problem is to gain access to the database since I don’t know where the Doctrine object might be stored

Here’s my code for now :

namespace MyApp\FrontBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request as Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse as RedirectResponse;
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authentication as Auth;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AuthenticationException as AuthException;

class SecurityHandler implements Auth\AuthenticationFailureHandlerInterface
{
    public function onAuthenticationFailure(Request $request, AuthException $token)
    {
        try
        {
            $lastLoginFailure = new DateTime();

            // get database object here
        }
        catch(\Exception $ex)
        {
        }
    }
}

Any ideas ?

Turn your SecurityHandler into a service and then inject the doctrine entity manager into it.
