Thanks!

Answer 1

Finally, I found the reason. The code is all fine, but the longth of the pwd column in the dadabase 'User' table is 45 which is too shout. Change to 100, then it's ok.

Answer 2

There seem to be an error in the namespaces of your user class

encoders:
    Bestxtech\UserBundle\Model\User: sha512

providers:
    bestxtech_user:
        entity: { class: Bestxtech\UserBundle\Model\User, property: userName }

instead of

encoders:
    Bestxtech\UserBundle\Entity\User: sha512

providers:
    bestxtech_user:
        entity: { class: Bestxtech\UserBundle\Entity\User, property: userName }

Answer 3

You must extend your User entity from the BaseUser entity of FOSUserBundle to access the basics attributes of a user as username or username_canonical

/**
 * User Model
 * 
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="User")
 * @author Terry Gao <gavntery@gmail.com>
 */
abstract class User implements UserInterface extends BaseUser
{
    // Your own logic ...
}
