You can also match a request against other details of the request (e.g. host, method). For more

How to Restrict Firewalls to a Specific Request
===============================================

When using the Security component, you can create firewalls that match certain request options.
In most cases, matching against the URL is sufficient, but in special cases you can further
restrict the initialization of a firewall against other options of the request.

.. note::

You can use any of these restrictions individually or mix them together to get
your desired firewall configuration.

Restricting by Pattern
----------------------

This is the default restriction and restricts a firewall to only be initialized if the request URL
matches the configured ``pattern``.

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml
# app/config/security.yml
# ...
security:
firewalls:
secured_area:
pattern: ^/admin
# ...
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- app/config/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd">
<config>
<!-- ... -->
<firewall name="secured_area" pattern="^/admin">
<!-- ... -->
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>
.. code-block:: php
// app/config/security.php
// ...
$container->loadFromExtension('security', array(
'firewalls' => array(
'secured_area' => array(
'pattern' => '^/admin',
// ...
),
),
));
The ``pattern`` is a regular expression. In this example, the firewall will only be
activated if the URL starts (due to the ``^`` regex character) with ``/admin`. If
the URL does not match this pattern, the firewall will not be activated and subsequent
firewalls will have the opportunity to be matched for this request.
Restricting by Host
-------------------
.. versionadded:: 2.4
Support for restricting security firewalls to a specific host was introduced in
Symfony 2.4.
If matching against the ``pattern`` only is not enough, the request can also be matched against
``host``. When the configuration option ``host`` is set, the firewall will be restricted to
only initialize if the host from the request matches against the configuration.

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml
# app/config/security.yml
# ...
security:
firewalls:
secured_area:
host: ^admin\.example\.com$
# ...
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- app/config/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd">
<config>
<!-- ... -->
<firewall name="secured_area" host="^admin\.example\.com$">
<!-- ... -->
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>
.. code-block:: php
// app/config/security.php
// ...
$container->loadFromExtension('security', array(
'firewalls' => array(
'secured_area' => array(
'host' => '^admin\.example\.com$',
// ...
),
),
));
The ``host`` (like the ``pattern``) is a regular expression. In this example,
the firewall will only be activated if the host is equal exactly (due to
the ``^`` and ``$`` regex characters) to the hostname ``admin.example.com``.
If the hostname does not match this pattern, the firewall will not be activated
and subsequent firewalls will have the opportunity to be matched for this
request.

Restricting by HTTP Methods
---------------------------

.. versionadded:: 2.5
Support for restricting security firewalls to specific HTTP methods was introduced in
Symfony 2.5.

The configuration option ``methods`` restricts the initialization of the firewall to
the provided HTTP methods.

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml
# app/config/security.yml
# ...
security:
firewalls:
secured_area:
methods: [GET, POST]
# ...
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- app/config/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd">
<config>
<!-- ... -->
<firewall name="secured_area" methods="GET,POST">
<!-- ... -->
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>
.. code-block:: php
// app/config/security.php
// ...
$container->loadFromExtension('security', array(
'firewalls' => array(
'secured_area' => array(
'methods' => array('GET', 'POST'),
// ...
),
),
));
In this example, the firewall will only be activated if the HTTP method of the
request is either ``GET`` or ``POST``. If the method is not in the array of the
allowed methods, the firewall will not be activated and subsequent firewalls will again
have the opportunity to be matched for this request.

How to Restrict Firewalls to a Specific Host
============================================

.. versionadded:: 2.4
Support for restricting security firewalls to a specific host was introduced in
Symfony 2.4.

When using the Security component, you can create firewalls that match certain
URL patterns and therefore are activated for all pages whose URL matches
that pattern. Additionally, you can restrict the initialization of a firewall
to a host using the ``host`` key:

.. configuration-block::

.. code-block:: yaml
# app/config/security.yml
# ...
security:
firewalls:
secured_area:
pattern: ^/
host: ^admin\.example\.com$
http_basic: true
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- app/config/security.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<srv:container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/security"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:srv="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services
http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services/services-1.0.xsd">
<config>
<!-- ... -->
<firewall name="secured_area" pattern="^/" host="^admin\.example\.com$">
<http-basic />
</firewall>
</config>
</srv:container>
.. code-block:: php
// app/config/security.php
// ...
$container->loadFromExtension('security', array(
'firewalls' => array(
'secured_area' => array(
'pattern' => '^/',
'host' => '^admin\.example\.com$',
'http_basic' => true,
),
),
));
The ``host`` (like the ``pattern``) is a regular expression. In this example,
the firewall will only be activated if the host is equal exactly (due to
the ``^`` and ``$`` regex characters) to the hostname ``admin.example.com``.
If the hostname does not match this pattern, the firewall will not be activated
and subsequent firewalls will have the opportunity to be matched for this
request.
This entry has moved to ":doc:`/cookbook/security/firewall_restriction`".
