This should clear the warning about Undefined global variable $_SESSION.

The value is not expected to be true but an array containing as elements 
the user's hashed password and user groups.

It should be enough if the users are defined in SiteAdmin.AuthUser.

If you have a custom page store class like PerGroupSubDirectories or 
SQLite, this needs to be earlier in config.php, so that that page store 
is available to AuthUser when it reads SiteAdmin.AuthUser.
