I regularly use my portable node while tethered to my cellphone, and would appreciate being able to connect / disconnect from other nodes without having to enter admin credentials via my mobile device. Can the need for authentication be disabled somehow?
No, it's not possible to completely disable the login.
Are you using a radio w/o DTMF...? That's always been the least hassle method for me, at least... I touchtone-away my blues...

Connect, disconnect, etc. is available via on-air DTMF commands.
Thanks @N8EI for confirming that it’s not possible to disable the login. Looking at it from another angle, is it possible to extend the period before an active login expires, or does it rely on the default mechanism provided by the web server?
@Everyone_else - I’m aware of DTMF, but my Motorola SL1600 has no keypad.
It's a browser session cookie. It'll be deleted when you close your browser or it otherwise invalidates a session cookie.
Understood, thank you. In the past I’ve piggy-backed onto standard browser authentication and created my own session cookie which then lasts 10 days and restores the session during that time, so effectively I’ve only got to log in once every 10 days.
This approach was taken as part of my own node control interface which was justified at the time since Allmon / Supermon of that era weren’t great on mobile. Now that we have responsive design I had hoped to make things a bit slicker by retting rid of unnecessary authentication, but alas not.
Cheers all!
