Built-in User Providers

OAuthUserProvider

This one does nothing but create valid users with default roles (ROLE_USER for now) and using infos_url in conjunction with username_path to provide getUsername()'s result. This UserProvider is used to represent remote OAuth user, when you don't need to do fancy things with your users, such as managing roles and ACLs. Example usage:

providers:
    secured_area:
        id: knp_oauth.user.provider

EntityUserProvider

This provider fetches users from the database and creates them on the fly if they don't already exist. It requires Doctrine to work. It works exactly like Doctrine's entity user provider, except its configuration key is oauth_entity:

providers:
    secured_area:
        oauth_entity:
            class: KnpBundlesBundle:User
            property: name
