Question

With Symfony’s Action Security if a user has not been identified he will be forwarded to the default login action as defined in the applications settings.yml file. How would I forward the user to the originally requested action after the user is successfully authenticated?

Answer 1

On first hit to your login action, store referer to the user session:

if(!$this->getUser()->hasParameter('referer')) {   $this->getUser()->setParameter('referer',$this->getRequest()->getReferer()); } 

and then when login succeeds, redirect user to stored referer with:

$this->redirect($this->getUser()->getParameter('referer')); 

You have complete example in sfGuardPlugin:
