AbstractAuthenticationListener

The AbstractAuthenticationListener is the preferred base class for all browser-/HTTP-based authentication requests.

Subclasses likely have to implement the following: - an TokenInterface to hold authentication related data - an AuthenticationProvider to perform the actual authentication of the token, retrieve the UserInterface implementation from a database, and perform the specific account checks using the UserChecker

By default, this listener only is active for a specific path, e.g. /login_check. If you want to change this behavior, you can overwrite the requiresAuthentication() method.
