switch user doesn't work

[cctgteddy]

Here is part of my security.yaml

    firewalls:
        dev:
            pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
            security: false
        main:
            switch_user: true
            lazy: true
            security: true
            guard:
                authenticators:
                    - cas.security.authentication.authenticator

adding ?_switch_user=targetuser to the URL works. I have intercept redirects turned on and on the intercept page it shows me as authenticated as the target user but when I follow the redirect it is gone.

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance

Hello, i don't use the switch functionnality of symfony
but you can contribute if you have the issue of this

Have you a usecase of this to provide in order to understand the functionnality ?
Have you some documentation of this ?

I have written my own bundle of switch functionnality with storage of the main id (returned by cas server) in a cookie.
But i have never uploaded the source code of this

Best regards,

Mathieu

Hello i have sucessfully coded the feature of switch user. But i don't use the _switch_user feature of symfony but in programmaticaly : with role ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH and 2 routes switch-user and switch-back i store the unpersonated token and original token in session. And with the on supports function of casauthenticator class i test if the unpersonated token is existent in session and if true it returns false in order to non-runs authenticate function. And with an event listener class on kernel event on every request i put the impersonated token in the security token storage if token exists in session
