php - sfDoctrineGuardPlugin forgets credentials after verifying them -

i searching solution authentication problem. i've found 1 person (in symfony-users google group) same problem (#2 @ bottom) way in may of last year. far can tell, no solution posted list.

in development environment on mac os x, sfdoctrineguardplugin working properly. when attempt access secure page, redirected login. when enter valid credentials, redirected requested page.

in test environment @ dreamhost, not working properly. when attempt access secure page, redirected login. when enter valid credentials, redirected requested page, symfony loses authentication status , (re-)redirects me login once again form emptied. (in contrast, if enter invalid credentials, receive error message on login page , username remains filled in.)

in each environment, symfony verify credentials valid , have 'admin' privileges, test forgets credentials redirects me requested page.

nothing interesting shows in apache error log.

it's worth mentioning snippet backend/templates/layout.php accounts navigation/_navmenu lines in dev not in test:
<?php if ($sf_user->isauthenticated()): ?>
    <?php include_component('navigation', 'navmenu'); ?>
    ...
 <?php endif ?>

hi, all.

having couple of problems symfony 1.4 installation:
1. [unrelated]
2. problem sfguard plugin.
works okay in development environment, in test environment after user logged in looses session. user gets logged in, after page reload authentication session lost.

the installation core symfony 1.4 sfguardplugin , custom templating.

any ideas on those? i'm feeling there's problem server config, don't know wrong(raised memory_limit 512mb).

thanks,
serg

i found answer after tips symfony-users google group.

first tip:

this seems issue session on server. if session variable not stored, authentication status cannot saved. should ask dreamhost support know why session variables not work.

christophe | stof

second tip:

this not symfony related suggestion.
found session issues caused suhosin module, comes many ubuntu based hosts. try turn session encryption off , see if helps. found example document root part of encryption , may not work expected.

kind regards,
jochen daum

it turns out hosting environment uses suhosin hardened php cause of problem. adding suhosin solution search, found in oldforums.symfony-project.org:

here final post. figured out issue on test environment. sfsessionteststorage not setting cookie needed. changed on sfsessionstorage , renamed cookie "test" suffix prevent production cookie conflicts, , things behaved appropriately. explain why able see correct behavior on dev instance, since uses regular sfsessionstorage class.

we use separate subdomains dev, test, stage, , production, solution simpler. changed sfsessionteststorage sfsessionstorage in apps/appname/config/factories.yml. don't expect need alter cookie name.
