I'd recommend redirecting. You should be able to do this in Apache by changing: <Location /w/Special:UserLogin> AuthType "basic" AuthName "wiki" AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthPAM_FallThrough Off SSLRequireSSL Require valid-user </Location> To: <Location /w/Special:UserLogin> AuthType "basic" AuthName "wiki" AuthPAM_Enabled on AuthPAM_FallThrough Off SSLRequireSSL Require valid-user Redirect /w/Special:UserLogin https://<servername>/wiki/Main_Page </Location> V/r, Ryan Lane
