Methods

start()

Returns a response that directs the user to authenticate.

public start(Request $request[, AuthenticationException $authException = null ]) : Response

This is called when an anonymous request accesses a resource that requires authentication. The job of this method is to return some response that "helps" the user start into the authentication process.

Examples:

  • For a form login, you might redirect to the login page

    return new RedirectResponse('/login');

  • For an API token authentication system, you return a 401 response

    return new Response('Auth header required', 401);

Parameters
$request : Request
$authException : AuthenticationException = null
