_switch_user doesn't work

I'm trying to use the switch_user technique described in the Symfony2 security docs. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. When I browse to http://myurl.com/foo?_switch_user=bar, the page gets refreshed, but I'm still logged in as the admin user, not bar.

Here's the relevant part of my app/config/security.yml:

role_hierarchy:
    ROLE_ADMIN:       ROLE_USER, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH
    ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_USER, ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]

providers:
    administrators:
        entity: { class: VNNPressboxBundle:User, property: username }

firewalls:
    dev:
        pattern:  ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
        security: false

    secured_area:
        pattern:    ^/
        form_login: ~
        logout: ~
        anonymous: ~
        switch_user: true

Any ideas as to what the issue is?

Did you try clearing symfony cache? I had some unexplainable issues too that were fixed just by clearing it. It doesn't hurt to try :)

Update: After reading question comments, by the lack of debug bar, I can guess that you might be in production environment. This could be the source of your trouble. Try clearing cache and switching to dev environment by running this:

php app/console --env=dev cache:clear

Update2: Are you accessing your app via app_dev.php file ?
