attributes in this token, you can use the ``tokenAttributes`` argument of the
:method:`Symfony\\Bundle\\FrameworkBundle\\KernelBrowser::loginUser` method.

You can also use :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\User\\InMemoryUser` but you have to define those in the configuration first::

.. code-block:: yaml
# config/packages/security.yaml
when@test:
security:
users_in_memory:

To set a specific firewall (``main`` is set by default)::

$client->loginUser($testUser, 'my_firewall');
