Totally removing admin password

[mayo23]

I have several oscommerce shops and want to put all the admin sections together under a seperate domain.

 

I will be password protecting the folder where they all reside and don't need the hassle of having to log in to each one individually.

 

Is there a way I can disable the password protection function attached to the admin section?

In the osCommerce-2.2rc2a Admin the requirement to login code is in /admin/includes/application_top.php

 

// redirect to login page if administrator is not yet logged in
 if (!tep_session_is_registered('admin')) {
$redirect = false;

$current_page = basename($PHP_SELF);

if ($current_page != FILENAME_LOGIN) {
  if (!tep_session_is_registered('redirect_origin')) {
	tep_session_register('redirect_origin');

	$redirect_origin = array('page' => $current_page,
							 'get' => $HTTP_GET_VARS);
  }

  $redirect = true;
}

if ($redirect == true) {
  tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN));
}

unset($redirect);
 }

You could try "commenting out" that block of code like this:

 

/* begin code disregard

// redirect to login page if administrator is not yet logged in
 if (!tep_session_is_registered('admin')) {
$redirect = false;

$current_page = basename($PHP_SELF);

if ($current_page != FILENAME_LOGIN) {
  if (!tep_session_is_registered('redirect_origin')) {
	tep_session_register('redirect_origin');

	$redirect_origin = array('page' => $current_page,
							 'get' => $HTTP_GET_VARS);
  }

  $redirect = true;
}

if ($redirect == true) {
  tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN));
}

unset($redirect);
 }

end code disregard */

I really don't know all the ramifications of this, so maybe it's not a good idea. And maybe it won't even work at all.

But it is easy to try.
