NTIImpersonationBundle

Overview

This bundle lets you change the login to another user without needing the users' password. This is useful when you have a list of users and someone complains that they in particular are having a specific issue. Using this bundle you could change your login to that of the user without asking for the password.

Installation

1. Install the bundle using composer:

   $ composer require ntidev/impersonation-bundle "dev-master"
   

2. Add the bundle configuration to the AppKernel

   public function registerBundles()
   {
       $bundles = array(
           ...
           new NTI\ImpersonationBundle\NTIImpersonationBundle(),
           ...
       );
   }
   

3. Setup the configuration in the config.yml

   # NTI
   nti_impersonation:
       redirect_route: 'deshblard'
       user_class: 'AppBundle\Entity\User\User'
       user_class_property: 'username'
       firewall: 'main'
   

4. Update the database schema

   $ php app/console doctrine:schema:update
   

Requirements

1. The entity that the bundle uses is currently hard coded to AppBundle\Entity\User\User and it uses the "username" property to find a valid user to impersonate.

Usage

1. Generate an impersonation key

   $ php app/console nti:impersonation:generate-key [username]
   

2. Copy the provided key and go to the url: /nti/impersonate/{key}

3. You will be redirected to the configured route logged in as the user for which the key was generated.
