Using / configuring the Symfony security component

I am trying to set up security using the Symfony security component in custom PHP applications. I have everything wired right down to the HTTP core and all authentication and authorization products using an in-memory data provider.

However, when I access the secure url, I get the following error: "Token not found in SecurityContext". My understanding is that if theirs are not Symfony Token then need to be redirected to a customized login screen.

Another funny thing: when I set up an access card with any entry that requires HTTP, it changes protocols and redirects to / login.

Not sure. If anyone has a working example, the Sailx and Symfony Security bundle seem to be pretty tricky to distill.

Current configurations using dependency injection
