MediaWiki 1.34 changed the default value to '$wgServer = false;' I
think that's what broke logins for us. Also see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgServer .
Here are my notes in LocalSettings.php and httpd.conf:
$ cat LocalSettings.php
...
# Protocol-relative URLs. The server will serve over HTTP or
# HTTPS, depending on what the user requested. $wgServer must
# match the server name in httpd.conf or login will break
$wgServer = '//www.cryptopp.com';
$wgCanonicalServer = 'https://www.cryptopp.com';
$wgSitename = 'Crypto++ Wiki';
# Security related administrivia
$wgSecureLogin = true;
$wgCookieHttpOnly = true;
$wgCookieSecure = 'detect';
And:
# cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/cryptopp.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
...
ServerName cryptopp.com
ServerAlias www.cryptopp.com *.cryptopp.com
# https://linuxize.com/post/redirect-http-to-https-in-apache/
Redirect permanent / https://cryptopp.com/

Thanks Jeff. It was spot on.
First I didn't know they needed to match and I changed $wgServer side
only. Also I recently installed a certificate to add SSL support then
forgot to update to $wgServer = https://...
Now I can log in with my username. I appreciate your help.
