Symfony2和安全模块：如何验证URL中传递的用户名和密码

Question

I have a configured Symfony2 security module, this is, it can authenticate users from a form that submits to the path specified in "check_path" option located in security.xml

I know is not best practice but id like to authenticate with an alternate url that has the following anatomy: .../alternatelogin/username/password

Inside the alternatelogin controller id like Symfony to make the same check and redirection that would do in the normal submit-login-form authentication method.

My first idea was to make the controller communicate with the "dummy" controller specified in security.xml (the one in the "check_path" option), but using forward or redirectToRoute wont make the trick.

Is there a working way to do this?

You will have to do your own username and password check in the database, but once you've done that, the following link solves the rest for you:
