Question

to implement credentials do I need to implement a preExecute function like this:

public function preExecute() {
        $this->configuration = new jobGeneratorConfiguration();
        if (!$this->getUser()->hasCredential(
                        $this->configuration->getCredentials($this->getActionName())

            ));
    }

Or is it suffice to have it defined in the module/config/security.yml like this:

all:
  is_secure:   true
  credentials: [ admin ]

However I am not able to work it out using security.yml only! I thought preExecute is not necessary and symfony automatically handles it by loading the security.yml definition!
Please help!

I am using sfDoctrineGuardPlugin and sfForkedDoctrineApply plugin..

There is no need for you to do a pre-execute for this.

The security.yml file is enough to stop people without the appropriate credentials from getting to the specified module or action.
