For my intranet wikis, I have written some extensions
that allow:
   1) Users to be identified by webserver authentication
(REMOTE_USER) and/or by MoinMoin's standard "cookie" method.
   2) Allows setting of user access permissions (read/edit/delete)
on any wiki page, or on the wiki as a whole.

You can find the code at:

This works well for me (though I give no guarantees). The downside
is that it is  written for MoinMoin 0.11. I'm hoping that Juergen
will adopt something like this eventually.
