I've seen myself implementing a few times a REMOTE_USER based authentication listener, as a large part of security modules for Apache (Kerberos, CAS, and more) are providing the username via an environment variable.
So I thought this could benefit the whole community if directly included in the framework. It is very similar to the X509AuthenticationListener, and basing the RemoteUserAuthenticationListener on the AbstractPreAuthenticatedListener is relevant and very convenient.
Using the X509AuthenticationListener could be possible, but it is confusing to use it directly when your authentication is not certificate based.
Please let me know if I need to update anything.
Regards

What is Symfony2?
Symfony2 is a PHP 5.3 full-stack web framework. It is written with speed and flexibility in mind. It allows developers to build better and easy to maintain websites with PHP.
Symfony can be used to develop all kind of websites, from your personal blog to high traffic ones like Dailymotion or Yahoo! Answers.
Requirements
Symfony2 is only supported on PHP 5.3.3 and up.
Be warned that PHP versions before 5.3.8 are known to be buggy and might not work for you:
-
before PHP 5.3.4, if you get "Notice: Trying to get property of non-object", you've hit a known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52083 and https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50027);
-
before PHP 5.3.8, if you get an error involving annotations, you've hit a known PHP bug (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55156).
-
PHP 5.3.16 has a major bug in the Reflection subsystem and is not suitable to run Symfony2 (https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62715)
Installation
The best way to install Symfony2 is to download the Symfony Standard Edition available at http://symfony.com/download.
Documentation
The "Quick Tour" tutorial gives you a first feeling of the framework. If, like us, you think that Symfony2 can help speed up your development and take the quality of your work to the next level, read the official Symfony2 documentation.
