Symfony 2.3.* authentication

Question

After testing clean install of Symfony 2.3 inside vagrant with Ubuntu 12.04.4 and 14.04 like this:

composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition login_not_working 2.3.*

update vendors:

composer install

edit app_dev.php like this, on first line after <?php for permissions:

umask(0000); // This will let the permissions be 0777

go to:

http://vagrant.dev/app_dev.php/

i click nice green button with RUN THE DEMO text and try to login with user/userpass or admin/adminpass. Symfony redirects me to:

http://vagrant.dev/app_dev.php/ 

and in the profiler i see very impressive message You are not authenticated. and with the extremly impressive red button too :D

This is just for testing and in actual application happens the same thing but on different setup... there i am using SonataUserBundle that extends FOSUserBundle...but it behaves the same...

I cleared cookies over, at least, 3 different browsers, clean cache with console and manually,...yada yada...

It smells like something with my vagrant box setup with/or/and a little flavor of permissions or maybe even sessions or ... boy is this kinky or what?

EDIT:

So, i uploaded both apps (clean test and my actual app with SonataUserBundle) to my VPS and both are workin' fine. Still, on few of my vagrant boxes authentication is not working?

And app/check.php output:

$ php app/check.php

Answer 1

So, anyway, to answer my own question (kind of) and for the audience...thank you i'm fine... ;)

I configured Symfony to store sessions in memcached and that seems to resolve the problem (kind of). I'll test this on another machine/vagrant to confirm this :D

This "(kinf of)" is whole another story, but i'll leave that for another time :D

EDIT

I tested this on 2 more vagrant boxes and storing sessions to memcached resolve it :)
