I have set up a private MoinMoin wiki, accessed through HTTPS, but I cannot get Basic HTTP Authentication to work on it. I have it working on another site, using a similar vhosts file, so I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

When accessing the site, the connection gets redirected to HTTPS, as intended, but there is no request for authentication credentials.

Nothing relevant seems to be appearing in the access log or error log either, which is strange. I am not sure if MoinMoin sites keep their own logs, but I have defined logs in the vhosts file.

<VirtualHost 00.00.00.00:80>
ServerName wiki.mysite.net
Redirect 301 / wiki.mysite.net CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost 00.00.00.00:443>
ServerName wiki.mysite.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/mywiki/
