If your code isn't designed to work within an authenticated
environment, you probably shouldn't be testing it within an
authenticated environment. There are lots of other ways you can limit
access to development environments.

But anyway, you need to make sure that the user authenticates against
the server before any of the AJAX requests are made. The browser won't
typically prompt a user for credentials for an AJAX request, it'll
just fail with a 401 response. You should be able to see the
appropriate authorization header from the browser for all requests
made, by using a tool like Firebug.

Also, you need to make sure that permissions have been properly
applied on the server - it may be the case that the user account in
question has permission to make some requests but not others.
