New in Symfony 2.4: Restrict Security Firewalls to specific Hosts

September 8, 2013 Fabien Potencier

Symfony 2.2 introduced host support in the routing system. Symfony 2.4 does the same for the security firewall configuration.

When configuring a firewall, you can restrict it to a given URL path pattern, like ^/admin/:

admin:
    pattern:    ^/admin
    http_basic: true

But what if you want to restrict it to admin.example.com instead? As of Symfony 2.4, this is really easy:

host:
    pattern:    ^/
    host:       admin\.example\.com
    http_basic: true

Simple and powerful!

Help the Symfony project!

As with any Open-Source project, contributing code or documentation is the most common way to help, but we also have a wide range of sponsoring opportunities.
