After thinking about this, the redirect is occuring before hitting
MediaWiki, and as such, the authentication plugin isn't logging the user in.
After the redirect occurs, the user is on a page that doesn't require
authentication, so Apache isn't sending the "REMOTE_USER" variable to PHP...
I'm assuming you want the login link to work, which is why you are doing the
Location directive on /w/Special:UserLogin. So, what you can do is the
following:
Redirect /w/Special:UserLogin https://<servername>/wiki/HttpAuthRedirect
<Location /wiki/HttpAuthRedirect>
AuthType "basic"
AuthName "wiki"
AuthPAM_Enabled on
AuthPAM_FallThrough Off
SSLRequireSSL
Require valid-user
</Location>
Then protect and edit HttpAuthRedirect, and put the following line into the
page:
#REDIRECT [[Main Page]]
Your users will get two redirects when they log in, but it should work.
