Local Admin API Authentication rejects valid tokens

Bug report

Currently, it appears we can use Admin API calls over JSON RPC/HTTP requests only if we disable "Local Admin API Authentication". Enabling it results in rejected calls with "No Authorization", even if we supply a valid token.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable "Local Admin API Authentication" in the UI (http://<hyperion-ip>:8090/#conf_network)
2. Submit an Admin API request, e.g.

   curl -X POST 'http://<hyperion-ip>:8090/json-rpc' \
   -H 'Authorization: token <valid-token>' \
   -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
   -d '{
   "command": "config",
   "subcommand": "getconfig"
   }'

   which results in

   {
   "command": "config",
   "error": "No Authorization",
   "success": false,
   "tan": 0
   }

3. Disable "Local Admin API Authentication"
4. Restart the service, e.g.:

   sudo systemctl restart hyperiond@pi.service

5. Submit the same request (with or without the token) and it succeeds.

What is expected?

When "Local Admin API Authentication" is enabled, Admin API calls should:

1. Reject calls without a token
2. Succeed if the token is valid.

What is actually happening?

When "Local Admin API Authentication" is enabled, Admin API rejects all requests, regardless of if the token is present or not, and if it's done over local network (or even localhost).

The current behavior seems to be hard-coded to set Admin auth state at the start of the service: https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion.ng/blob/a4d98fd916e17f1a3834c43ba220d7838313d711/libsrc/api/API.cpp#L86

Hi,

same problem here.

JsonAPI::handleConfigCommand checks for _adminAuthorized but _adminAuthorized isn't set in API::isTokenAuthorized() So maybe simple fix is set _adminAuthorized = _authorized; at the end of API::isTokenAuthorized()
