I'm on 2.1.5 and as far as I can tell, even though repoze.who-testutil is installed, it doesn't work (e.g. the {'REMOTE_USER': 'username'} in the extra_environ doesn't authenticate - I get a 401). Is there some configuration that needs to be done to make the testutil plugin actually work? I can't find anything in its documentation or repoze.who's documentation (the normal [plugin:testutil] use = repoze.who.plugins.testutil:[anything in that file] doesn't work.)
