follow this code, I had same problem then I have manage how to use identity of logged in user via zfcUser
in other modules controller at topside,
use Zend\EventManager\EventManagerInterface;
then create this two function in the sameclass,
public function setEventManager(EventManagerInterface $events)
{
parent::setEventManager($events);
$controller = $this;
$events->attach('dispatch', function ($e) use ($controller) {
if (is_callable(array($controller, 'checkUserIdentity')))
{
call_user_func(array($controller, 'checkUserIdentity'));
}
}, 100);
}
public function checkUserIdentity()
{
if ($this->zfcUserAuthentication()->hasIdentity()) {
echo "<pre>"; print_r($this->zfcUserAuthentication()->getIdentity());die;
}
}
it will give this kind of output
Admin\Entity\User Object
(
[id:protected] => 2
[username:protected] =>
[email:protected] => [email protected]
[displayName:protected] =>
[password:protected] => $2y$14$2WxYLE0DV0mH7txIRm7GkeVJB3mhD4FmnHmxmrkOXtUFL7S9PqWy6
[state:protected] =>
)
That's it you will automatically get Identity whether user is logged in if not then it will redirect to login page.
Hope this will helps
