Answer 1

1) Quick and dirty fix: in the file /app/code/core/Mage/Api2/Model/Auth.php, change the value of: DEFAULT_USER_TYPE = 'guest' to DEFAULT_USER_TYPE = 'admin'.

In the file /app/code/core/Mage/Api2/Model/Auth/Adapter.php, change this line from return (object) array('type' => Mage_Api2_Model_Auth::DEFAULT_USER_TYPE, 'id' => null); to this: return (object) array('type' => Mage_Api2_Model_Auth::DEFAULT_USER_TYPE, 'id' => '1');

This way the authentication system will not be broken.

2) Proper and long run fix: Override the two functionalities using the magento overriding mechanism to have a better solution in accordance to magento standards. This way the core files will be intact.
