Testing Authentication/Authorization in 2.0

Hi, 

I have a UsersController, and I've configured AuthComponent to use 'Controller' authorization mechanism. I also setup everything to allow just the index action and deny everything else. It works just fine when I go through the browser: ie, I can see the list of users and I get redirected to the login page when I try to add a new one. 

What I want to do is write a test case that verifies that the add action requires a user to be logged in (the current behavior). I have the following partial testing code: 

public testAuthentication {        

    $data = array ( 'User' => array ( 'email' => 'test@email.com', 'password' => 'testPwd'));

    $this->Users = $this->generate('Users', array('components' => array('Session', 'Auth')));

    $result      = $this->testAction(

            '/users/add',

            array(

             'method' => 'post',

             'return' => 'result',

             'data'   => $data,

            )

        );

        $result      = $this->Users->User->read();
}

I added logs in the isAuthorized() method of the UserController, and it's not called by my test case (so the test case is able to add a new user). It's only called when I run this through the browser. 

Is what I'm trying to test supported? Am I missing something? 

Thanks,
-Javier
