User object reconstraction

[ShurikAg]

Hi all,

We are implementing our own authentication provider that uses remote service to get user object.

In standard Symfony's implementation, user object is reconstructed and populated on every request, is it's available as a global variable (For example, in form of app.user or such).
Where is this user object gets populated? (we need to populate it differently)

Thanks,

A.

It really depends on how "deep" you want to modify the authentication system of Symfony. If you simply want to get the users objects from a remote service you can create a user provider: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook ... vider.html

Actually, custom provider is the one that creates user object on authentication (login) flow, but it's not even used in any of the subsequent requests.
As far as I could understand the user object get's serialized into a session. And, on subsequent requests get's uninitialized from the session. So, my question is where is that happening?

Thanks.

OK, let's ask it differently:
Do I have an access to user object from a listener?
