Authenticate Users through Symfony Security using JSON Web Tokens

Antenna

, _(*1)

Antenna is a small library that helps integrating JWT (JSON Web Token) for projects using the Symfony Security Component., _(*2)

In order to use this library you need to set up two authenticators in your firewall., _(*3)

The first is UsernamePasswordAuthenticator which uses the security flow to authenticate through and then "hijack" the request by rendering a body with a token { "token" : "json web token here" }., _(*4)

The second uses the Authorization: Bearer <json web token> header style to authenticate your users by validating the JWT., _(*5)

If you use Symfony Full Stack there is a AntennaBundle which provides a simple integration., _(*6)

Also look in the bundle if you want to know how to integrate with other libraries that use Symfony Security., _(*7)
