Symfony2: After successful login event, perform set of actions

You can add a listener to the security.interactive_login event.

attach your listener like so. In this example I also pass the security context and session as dependencies.

Note: SecurityContext is deprecated as of Symfony 2.6. Please refer to http://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-2-6-security-component-improvements

parameters:
   # ...

   account.security_listener.class: CompanyAccountBundleListenerSecurityListener

services:
   # ...

   account.security_listener:
        class: %account.security_listener.class%
        arguments: ['@security.context', '@session']
        tags:
            - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: security.interactive_login, method: onSecurityInteractiveLogin }

and in your listener you can store whatever you want on the session. In this case I set the users timezone.

<?php

namespace CompanyAccountBundleListener;

use SymfonyComponentSecurityCoreSecurityContextInterface;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationSessionSession;
use SymfonyComponentSecurityHttpEventInteractiveLoginEvent;

class SecurityListener
{

   public function __construct(SecurityContextInterface $security, Session $session)
   {
      $this->security = $security;
      $this->session = $session;
   }

   public function onSecurityInteractiveLogin(InteractiveLoginEvent $event)
   {
        $timezone = $this->security->getToken()->getUser()->getTimezone();
        if (empty($timezone)) {
            $timezone = 'UTC';
        }
        $this->session->set('timezone', $timezone);
   }

}

You need to give the array_shift() the parameter! Look this example:

$stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
$fruit = array_shift($stack); // Here you give the parameter
print_r($fruit);

You give the null parameter on array_shift() and you need to change it!

Update:

array_shift() shifts the first value of the array off and returns it, shortening the array by one element and moving everything down. All numerical array keys will be modified to start counting from zero while literal keys won't be touched. Read here for more

You need to define a Spring Bean which implements ApplicationListener.

Then, in your code, do something like this:

public void onApplicationEvent(ApplicationEvent appEvent)
{
    if (appEvent instanceof AuthenticationSuccessEvent)
    {
        AuthenticationSuccessEvent event = (AuthenticationSuccessEvent) appEvent;
        UserDetails userDetails = (UserDetails) event.getAuthentication().getPrincipal();

        // ....
    }
}

Then, in your applicationContext.xml file, just define that bean and it will automatically start receiving events :)
