User Entity

The advanced user interface extends the user interface. This is what is used to by all objects that can be used for authentication. The important things to note:

Important Methods:

  • getUsername :return an email. We only allow email login. The user provider by default will call this method to get the field to look the user up by.
  • isEnabled: If true the user can login otherwise the user can’t
  • eraseCredentials: is used to make sure the plain password is never serialized as part of the user.
  • getSalt: Returns null because we are using bcrypt which does not require a salt.
