Let me explain my situation, I developed a complete backend for an Android application in Symfony2.1 that works perfectly, now I'm trying to create the Android app part, for that I created a firewall with http_basic authentication that ensures that my users are correctly authenticated and authorized, I actually can use my app and be logged, but if I try to retrieve any page behind the firewall a get a 404 error.
I don't want to use any external bundle, I just want to send my user/pass on every request since my app makes just three httpclient calls but I don't know hoy to get access granted on every request.
Here is part of my code, feel free to ask :) Thanks in advance!
My Android http call:
@Override protected String doInBackground(Void... arg0) {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
// construir peticion get
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet("http://www.somewebsite.com/api/login/");
httpGet.addHeader(BasicScheme.authenticate(
new UsernamePasswordCredentials(loguser, passw), "UTF-8",
false));
try {
response = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent(), "UTF-8"));
builder = new StringBuilder();
for(String line = null; (line = reader.readLine()) != null;){
builder.append(line).append("\n");
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
alert("Error de protocolo", "Lo sentimos, ha ocurrido un error");
}
return builder.toString();
}
My firewall
api:
pattern: ^/api/.*
provider: app_user
http_basic:
realm: "API"
access_control:
- { path: ^/api-registro/, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/api/.*, role: ROLE_API }
providers:
app_user:
entity: { class: Alood\BackBundle\Entity\Usuario, property: user }
encoders:
Alood\BackBundle\Entity\Usuario: plaintext
My Controller
public function apiLoginAction()
{
$peticion = $this->getRequest();
$sesion = $peticion->getSession();
$usuario = $this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();
$error = $peticion->attributes->get(SecurityContext::AUTHENTICATION_ERROR,
$sesion->get(SecurityContext::AUTHENTICATION_ERROR));
$securityContext = $this->container->get('security.context');
if( $securityContext->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY')){
$texto["user"] = $usuario->getUser();
return new JsonResponse($texto);
}
}
Note: If I repeat the same steps in a different function of my controller I get a problem in my android app and I don't know how to solve this.
It happened to be a typo issue in my routing.yml so if its useful for somebody I must say this works properly.
