auth problems (security filters) in sfGuardUser Symfony

Question

Hi,

I'm using Symfony 1.2.7, and sfGuardUser Plugin. I'm able to view all the pages, login and logout. However when I try to edit (just going to the form) or update an object (saving the changes) sometimes I have problems of auth, and symfony redirects me to the edit form page again. I put some emphasys on sometimes because it's what it's driving me crazy :)

Users have cookies and the remember_cookie. I'm using the cookie domain ".domain.com" for both cookies because we work with subdomains.

On filters.yml I have the following:

security: ~

remember:
  class:   sfGuardBasicSecurityFilter

that filter is the one used by many:

class sfGuardBasicSecurityFilter extends sfFilter
{
  public function execute ($filterChain)
  {
    if ($this->isFirstCall() && !$this->getContext()->getUser()->isAuthenticated())
    {
      if ($cookie = $this->getContext()->getRequest()->getCookie(sfConfig::get('app_sf_guard_plugin_remember_cookie_name', 'sfRemember')))
      {
        $q = Doctrine_Query::create()
              ->from('sfGuardRememberKey r')
              ->innerJoin('r.sfGuardUser u')
              ->where('r.remember_key = ?', $cookie);

        if ($q->count())
        {
          $this->getContext()->getUser()->signIn($q->fetchOne()->sfGuardUser);
        }
      }
    }

    $filterChain->execute();
  }
}

On the module/config/security.yml

edit:
  is_secure:   on

update:
  is_secure:   on

Looking at http headers, it returs me a HTTP 302 answer. If I look at the code that provokes that redirection; I've noticed that it seems like just before the edit or update action it doesn't recognize the user:

Jul 08 19:03:16 symfony [info] {sfFilterChain} Executing filter "subdomainFilter"

Any idea on where can I keep looking or how I can fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

fixed, it was a problem of having two servers running at the same time. We have changed to use Memcache for cookie storing.
