Chapter 5. Security and Handling Users
After sorting out basic views and form creation, we need to have a way to identify users and to display only their customized tasks. For this task to take place, we need to implement a basic authentication process and bind our to-do tasks to the users. Also, we need to enforce our authentication and prevent anonymous actions. We need to do this because all tasks need an owner and a person responsible for them. We do not want to share our own tasks list with others.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Review Symfony2 built-in security capabilities
- Install a user manager bundle to make user handling easier
- User registration
