CakePHP - unit testing admin view

Question

How can I do CakePHP unit testing for views that is password protected?

I see an article about admin controller but not views http://mark-story.com/posts/view/testing-cakephp-controllers-the-hard-way

So basically right now my assert is failing because of the password page.

$this->get($this->baseurl . '/admin/items');
$this->assertText('Title');

Thanks,
Tee

You may have to mock or stub the authcomponent for your tests to always authenticate users. A bit of googling turns this up
