Symfony2: Access anonymously path - authentication

Question

I use the FOSRestbundle with mopa/wsse-authentication-bundle (WSSE authentication).
Everything works fine (Authentication and RESTful api).
But i want to make 1 specific path public (without authentication).
Path i want to make public: ^/api/users
I tried following settings but i still get a 403 Forbidden status for the api/users path.
(security.yml)
jms_security_extra:
secure_all_services: false
expressions: true
security:
encoders:
***\UserBundle\Entity\User: plaintext
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_USER: [ROLE_API_USER]
providers:
***_users:
entity: { class: UserBundle:User }
firewalls:
wsse_secured:
pattern: ^/api
anonymous: true
stateless: true
wsse:
nonce_dir: null
lifetime: 300
provider: ***_users
access_control:
- { path: ^/api/users, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/(css|js), roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/(_wdt|_profiler)

If you want to make api/users/ page public that is accessible to everybody without any sort of authentication, you can think of keeping out of WSSE authentication. To do that, you can specify the url pattern for which WSSE authentication will not be applied. e.g. in below example I have specified a pattern to skip URLs having the form as "api/users/".
in short I am suggesting to skip WSSE authentication for the "users" page using the "pattern"
wsse_secured:
pattern: ^/api/[^users].*
wsse:
nonce_dir: null
lifetime: 300
provider: ***_users
