Symfony 6.4 - Authenticator does not support the request

Question

I have a Symfony 6.4 (with Api Platform v3.4.5) project. I have a controller that accepts a JSON. The controller picks up the arguments passed via the JSON and calls a Symfony Command with these arguments. The Symfony Command in-turn calls an external API with these arguments obtains a JSON response, parses it and returns it back to the controller.

I tested the Command and obtained the correct results. However when I use CURL and call the controller I get a blank response. I see the following entries in the log

[2025年05月10日T20:23:04.219748+05:30] security.DEBUG: Checking for authenticator support. {"firewall_name":"main","authenticators":1} []
[2025年05月10日T20:23:04.219814+05:30] security.DEBUG: Checking support on authenticator. {"firewall_name":"main","authenticator":"Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Http\\Authenticator\\FormLoginAuthenticator"} []
[2025年05月10日T20:23:04.219849+05:30] security.DEBUG: Authenticator does not support the request. {"firewall_name":"main","authenticator":"Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Http\\Authenticator\\FormLoginAuthenticator"} []

In my security.yaml file I have the following entries

security:
 password_hashers:
 Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface: 'auto'
 providers:
 # used to reload user from session & other features (e.g. switch_user)
 app_user_provider:
 entity:
 class: App\Entity\User
 property: username
 firewalls:
 dev:
 pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
 security: false
 main:
 lazy: true
 provider: app_user_provider
 form_login:
 login_path: app_login
 check_path: app_login
 enable_csrf: true
 logout:
 path: app_logout
 # where to redirect after logout
 # target: app_any_route
 # activate different ways to authenticate
 # https://symfony.com/doc/current/security.html#the-firewall
 # https://symfony.com/doc/current/security/impersonating_user.html
 # switch_user: true
 # configure the maximum login attempts
 login_throttling:
 max_attempts: 3 # per minute ...
 # interval: '15 minutes' # ... or in a custom period
 #access_token:
 #token_handler: App\Security\AccessTokenHandler
 # Easy way to control access for large sections of your site
 # Note: Only the *first* access control that matches will be used
 access_control:
 # - { path: ^/admin, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
 # - { path: ^/profile, roles: ROLE_USER }

I am in the DEV environment. My security.yaml indicates that the security is disabled for DEV. Is there any additional configuration needed before my controllers can be accessed over HTTP.

• sridhar pandurangiah: I replaced the regex in the pattern line as follows : pattern: ^/( The route pattern's have to be included to disbale the firewall security in the dev environment
