After a user calls http_auth entering his credentials. The http_auth
password dialogue is loaded when someone points his browser on the url
of the wiki if the dir of that url was added to a http_auth realm.

Is this your username ohacsi at niif.hu or your email address?

acl_enabled = 1 isn't a config var in 1.7

Do you see your name on top of the page. If not you are likly not logged in.
It is quite difficult to help you if you only show snippet of lines from
wikiconfig.py. It can become easier if you discuss your problem on #moin
at chat.freenode.net and have prepared a pastebin with wikiconfig.py
(of course you can remove lines you won't like to show to us)
Maybe it is only an indenting problem, do you have used evil tabs?
