[ic] Disable / Bypass Administration Login

[Michael Stearne]

I asked a question yesterday on how to disable or get around the login  
for the administration module.  I wanted to grab the order_view page  
without authorization (because I am doing it from PHP and fopen).  So  
below is what worked for me, YMMV.  Also, you are disabling security  
for this page so this is not at all recommended.  You might make the  
admin directory be protected by .htaaccess just in case.

To try this simply:

1. su to root
2. edit /usr/lib/interchange/lib/UI/pages/admin/order_view.html and add  
[set no_login_required]1[/set] to the line above @_UI_STD_HEAD_@ .
3. Restart Interchange /etc/init.d/interchange restart
4. Test. Something like:   
http://www.myICStore.com/cgi-bin/myICStore/admin/ 
order_view?order=MIC4988  should bring up the order with no  
authorization required.

I would assume this would work on other pages also, but this could  
cause some potential problems with the permissions IC sets up for its  
users and of course your changes to order_view.html will go away when  
you upgrade IC at any point.
