interface UserLoaderInterface Represents a class that loads UserInterface objects from Doctrine source for the authentication system.

interface UserInterface Represents the interface that all user classes must implement. This interface is useful because the authentication layer can deal with the object through its lifecycle, using the object to get the encoded password (for checking against a submitted password), assigning roles and so on. Regardless of how your user are loaded or where they come from (a database, configuration, web service, etc), you will have a class that implements this interface. Objects that implement

checkPostAuth(UserInterface $user) Checks the user account after authentication. Parameters UserInterface $user a UserInterface instance Exceptions AccountStatusException

string getPassword() Returns the password used to authenticate the user. This should be the encoded password. On authentication, a plain-text password will be salted, encoded, and then compared to this value. Return Value string The password
