Symfony2 + functional test + authentication - symfony

Question

I want to prepare simple function test in PHPUnit for my symfony 2 project: authenticate user and display some page without redirecting to login form.
I use LDAP user provider (IMAG\LdapBundle\Provider\LdapUserProvider).
My firewalls configuration in security.yml:
firewalls:
secured_area:
pattern: ^/
provider: ldap
imag_ldap:
login_path: /login
logout:
path: /logout
target: /
In my test controller I have following methods:
protected function createClientWithAuthentication($firewallName, array $options = array(), array $server = array())
{
$client = $this->createClient($options, $server);
$client->getCookieJar()->set(new \Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Cookie(session_name(), true));
$user = $this->getCurrentUser($client);
$token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, $firewallName, $user->getRoles());
$client->getContainer()->get('session')->set('_security_' . $firewallName, serialize($token));
return $client;
}
protected function getCurrentUser($client) {
$userProvider = $client->getContainer()->get('imag_ldap.security.user.provider');
$user = $userProvider->loadUserByUsername('my.login');
return $user;
}
Then I have simple test:
public function testProfile()
{
$c = $this->createClientWithAuthentication('secured_area');
$c->request('GET', '/profile');
$this->assertEquals($c->getResponse()->getStatusCode(), 200);
}
Test fails:
Failed asserting that 200 matches expected 302.
I digged it and I found out that I receive complete user from user provider (all fields are properly filled). But response is redirecting to localhost/login page.
Please tell me what else I can test... where is the place where decision is made if login page should (or not) be displayed?

I have WebTestCase base class that creates a authorized client. You can adapt it to your purpose ...
class BaseWebTestCase extends WebTestCase{
protected $client;
protected function setUp(){
$this->client=$this->createAuthorizedClient();
}
/**
* #return \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Client
*/
protected function createAuthorizedClient()
{
$client = static::createClient();
$container = $client->getContainer();
/** #var Person $user */
$user=$container->get("netnotes.cust.person")->getRepository()->getSuperAdmin();
$session = $container->get('session');
/** #var $userManager \FOS\UserBundle\Doctrine\UserManager */
$userManager = $container->get('fos_user.user_manager');
/** #var $loginManager \FOS\UserBundle\Security\LoginManager */
$loginManager = $container->get('fos_user.security.login_manager');
$firewallName = $container->getParameter('fos_user.firewall_name');
$user = $userManager->findUserBy(array('username' => $user->getUsername()));
$loginManager->loginUser($firewallName, $user);
// save the login token into the session and put it in a cookie
$container->get('session')->set('_security_' . $firewallName,
serialize($container->get('security.context')->getToken()));
$container->get('session')->save();
$client->getCookieJar()->set(new Cookie($session->getName(), $session->getId()));
return $client;
}
}
