Comment(by ChristineBao):

 Tech assessment:[[BR]]
 Help.php check the session using code LoadSessionVars().[[BR]]
 In the LoadSessionVars() function, it will try to refresh the session by
 login again
 {{{
        try
        {
            //do something...

            // Initialize web tier with the site configuration file.
             MgInitializeWebTier( $webConfigFile );

             // Set up user info
             $userInfo = new MgUserInformation();
             $userInfo->SetMgSessionId( $adminSession );
             $userInfo->SetClientAgent( $clientAgent );
             $userInfo->SetClientIp( $clientIp );

             // Create a Site object and open the Site Server.
             $site = new MgSite();
             $site->Open( $userInfo );
         }
         catch( AuthenticationFailedException $e )
         {
             LogoutWithAuthenticationFailedException();
         }
 }}}
 [[BR]]
 User hasn't logged in when visting the login page, thus an authentication
 exception thrown out.

 To fix this defect, ignore LoadSessionVars() when the help Id is
 "HelpDocs/about_sites_and_servers.htm".
