[FLOW3-general] Extending default account - new authentication provider?

[Søren Malling]

Hi,

I'm currently working with the security framework of FLOW3 - I must
say it's amazing! And I'm learning a lot of new stuff from the
project!

RIght now I'm facing the need of "extending" the default account
model. I need to add some informations like firstname, lastname and
e-mail (All these properties are available in the Party Person model).
How will I be able to extend the \F3\FLOW3\Security\Account model?

I've had a look at how the PhoenixDemoTypo3Org.git package are using
the security/account functions along with the Registration plugin. It
looks like it made a new authentication provider (from
Configuration/Settings.yaml):

FLOW3:
  security:
    authentication:
      providers:
        DefaultProvider:
          providerClass: PersistedUsernamePasswordProvider
          entryPoint:
            webRedirect:
              uri: typo3/login
      authenticationStrategy: oneToken
  mvc:
    notFoundController: F3\TYPO3\Controller\ErrorController

Is this the way to go, in order to use my own account model?

Best regards,

Søren Malling
