disable authentication for READ ONLY users

[maxy2k]

Is there any way to disable authentication for READ ONLY users?

So that the Read Only users can view the contact list, only administrator can
add/remove the content.

As a Workaround i copied the configured the readonly addressbook .. to
adressbookadmin.. and modified the the new config again for administration +
login.

Can you explain this in more detail?

This is how I did it:

In include\login.inc.php i changed

$user = (isset($_POST) ? $_POST

: (isset($_GET) ? $_GET

: (isset($_SERVER) ? $_SERVER

: "")));

$pass = (isset($_POST) ? $_POST

: (isset($_GET) ? $_GET

: (isset($_SERVER) ? $_SERVER

: "")));

to:

$user = (isset($_POST) ? $_POST

: (isset($_GET) ? $_GET

: (isset($_SERVER) ? $_SERVER

: "read")));

$pass = (isset($_POST) ? $_POST

: (isset($_GET) ? $_GET

: (isset($_SERVER) ? $_SERVER

: "password")));

That makes the user "read" with the password "password" login automatically.

Then I changed:

} elseif(isset($userlist) && $userlist == $pass) {

to:

} elseif(isset($userlist) && $userlist == $pass && !isset($_POST)) {

So that you can logout from the readonly account and logon to a admin account.
