The problem is that i can't access some help documents.
When i try to reach the links i called 'wrong ones', a login prompt is 
displayed and i'm not recognized as an admin.
When i hit cancel, i receive ,  the following message : Unauthorized: 
You are not allowed to access '' in this context.

If i want to access the ZMI, i have to login again as admin.

I'm authentified as admin except when i try to reach those links.

Second problem, when i'm in a product's help folder, i can't view the 
stx documents.
I'm redirected to manage_workspace.
In Zcatalog for example, ther is no view tab.
In sessions, there is a view tab but i'm prompted for a username and 
password as mentionned above.

I described below what i noticed about the content of some help folders 
and the name of some help documents i don't know if it'll be useful.
