The authenticatedAs testing option makes use of an authorization header to authenticate the user, this only works on the api frontend, for forum or admin frontends we've always had to make a normal identification/password request to the login endpoint and use the generated cookie to run our tests. This isn't ideal.
This PR changed the autheticatedAs option to rely on a remember cookie by default. Which makes testing easier.
