The Symfony Security HTTP component provides HTTP integration of the Symfony Security Core component. It secures (parts of) applications using firewalls and provides authenticators to authenticate visitors.

Use cases

• secure http endpoints with firewalls in a symfony app
• authenticate users via http in php
• add login and authentication to a symfony application
• protect parts of a web application with access control
• implement custom authenticators for http requests
• handle csrf and session-based authentication in symfony

When to choose

• you are building a Symfony application and need authentication or authorization
• you want firewall-based HTTP security in a PHP project
• you need a mature, well-documented security layer with long-term support

When to avoid

• you use a framework other than Symfony with its own security stack
• you need a standalone auth service rather than an in-process component
• your project is not PHP-based
