Symfony and SSO (Apache) - Authentification

Question

I have an authenticated user on the server via SSO. I can get it in my app with:

$user = $request->server->getHeaders();   
var_dump($user['X_REMOTE_USER']);

I have a SOAP web service to retrieve more informations about the user like his rights on the application.

I wanted to know what is the good way to securized my apps ?

eg: /admin if user got admin role

Must I authentificate my user on symfony ? If yes How can I identify my user on symfony ? (We don't want a Login Form)

I have seen that may be I can use a userProvider.But I don't how it works with a user who is already authentificated by the server.

Thanks for your help, Regards.

You can setting roles in security.yml file for ACL Something like:

# security.yml
 security:
    access_control:
    # require ROLE_ADMIN for /admin*
        - { path: ^/admin, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
