FOS user bundle authentication

Question

How FOS User Bundle authenticates the user by this service container?

$this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

I want to manipulate the authentication process. Where should I look in the bundle?

Actually FOSUserBundle doesn't do authentication. It actually provides a db user provider. Authentication part is done by Symfony2's internal form_login authentication provider. If you want to create custom authentication provider check this cookbook entry.

Thank you - the answer I've been looking for....! I have been trying to create an event listener to modify the authentication process for FOSUserBundle but couldn't find any leads; this is the only answer I've come across that says FOSUserBundle doesn't do authentication :)
