You can add a listener to the security.interactive_login event.
attach your listener like so. In this example I also pass the security context and session as dependencies.
Note: SecurityContext is deprecated as of Symfony 2.6. Please refer to
http://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-2-6-security-component-improvements
parameters:
# ...
account.security_listener.class: Company\AccountBundle\Listener\SecurityListener
services:
# ...
account.security_listener:
class: %account.security_listener.class%
arguments: ['@security.context', '@session']
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: security.interactive_login, method: onSecurityInteractiveLogin }
and in your listener you can store whatever you want on the session. In this case I set the users timezone.
<?php
namespace Company\AccountBundle\Listener;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\SecurityContextInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Event\InteractiveLoginEvent;
class SecurityListener
{
public function __construct(SecurityContextInterface $security, Session $session)
{
$this->security = $security;
$this->session = $session;
}
public function onSecurityInteractiveLogin(InteractiveLoginEvent $event)
{
$timezone = $this->security->getToken()->getUser()->getTimezone();
if (empty($timezone)) {
$timezone="UTC";
}
$this->session->set('timezone', $timezone);
}
}
