Symfony2 - change security entry point - rest

Question

Using symonfy as a REST API, I would like the server not to send such headers on a 401 :
WWW-Authenticate : Basic realm=XXX
but something like
WWW-Authenticate : myOwnBasic realm=XXX
How can I overload the BasicAuthenticationEntryPoint class or make my own entry point class for basic auth ?

I finally found the solution :
You need to override this paramater in parameters.yml :
security.authentication.basic_entry_point.class: NAMESAPCE\YOURCUSTOM_CLASS
And create a file where you prefer (I made it in MyBundle\Security\Http\EntryPoint) looking like :
<?php
namespace NAMESAPCE;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Exception\AuthenticationException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\EntryPoint\BasicAuthenticationEntryPoint;
class CustomBasicAuthenticationEntryPoint extends BasicAuthenticationEntryPoint
{
private $realmName;
public function __construct($realmName)
{
$this->realmName = 'XXX';
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function start(Request $request, AuthenticationException $authException = null)
{
$response = new Response();
$response->headers->set('WWW-Authenticate', sprintf('myOwnBasic realm="%s"', $this->realmName));
$response->setStatusCode(401);
return $response;
}
}
