ZfcUser | generic user registration and authentication module | Authentication library

I try to migrate from ZF2 to ZF3 but many viewHelpers and validators do not work. But only the ones who overwrite ZendFrameworks viewhelpers / validators do not work...

I want f.e. to overwrite the CSRF validator to allow a higher timeout by default.

I have the following application configuration:

I figured it out, answer is below - Leaving the question and all the process stuff here in case it might help someone figure out the same in the future, though most of it is made redundant by the answer.

What I'm trying to do is, filter data based on the Company that a User is associated with (User#company).

I have a few Entities for this scenario:

• User
• Company
• Address

The scenario is that data, in this case Address Entity objects, are created by User Entities. Each User has a Company Entity that it belongs to. As such, each Address has a Address#createdByCompany property.

Now I'm trying to create a SQLFilter extension, as described by the Doctrine docs - "Working with Filters".

I've created the following class:

I'm trying to soft delete a complete Customer. A Customer extends User. Customer also has associated InvoiceAddress[] entities.

It however, does not work. If the Customer has @Gedmo\SoftDeleteable, it fails on the Foreign Key association with User. If I also make the User entity soft delete-able, then it fails on the association between Customer and InvoiceAddress.

If I make the relation between Customer and InvoiceAddress to cascade={"persist", "remove"} (added remove), then it hard deletes all entities related to the Customer.

I figure it might be something in the configuration, though having read multiple questions and (of course) the docs of the SoftDeleteable extension itself, I haven't figured out what/where I'm doing something wrong.

Below is my setup, I've removed stuff from the code unrelated to the question.

Customer.php

I'am using ZfcUser module in my application to protect access to /admin route. As I want to block all childroutes of /admin, except for /login, /register etc.

In order to do so, I've added a code from accepted answer here - Zend Framework 2 - Global check for authentication with ZFCUser

What I am Doing

I am working with a zend framework 2 with doctrine. I want my controller to redirect if the Zfcuser user_id instance i got is not equal to the parameter in my route.

My Contoller Action

public function profileAction() {
