why simulating?
just do it. Log in as the desired user.
I do it this way. for example on Sites which are hidden by a
login-gateway-page until launch.
on the first call to a page (from BE or direct) you are redirected to the
login page. The cookie is changed to a logged-in user. The next pagecall
(from BE) you get the requested page (a logged-in user is remembered).

you just have to look for username and password from the fe_users-table or
create your own testuser with appropiate usergroups.
