(#14) Fix Smoke Tests and Add Unit Test Auth

Prior to this commit, the smoke tests were broken because I am forcing
every user to authenticate before using the dashboard. This commit fixes
that by changing how the initial smoke tests work for the dashboard spec
tests. I also add a simple unit test for authentication.

About Unit Test:

For some reason, Travis-CI doesn't like my unit test with mongo.
Couldn't find a good reason, so I moved it to pending for now. The test
passes locally, even with dummy username/passwords that don't exist in
the database. Might investigate later.
