The more fundamental issue, of course, is that if security is a major concern, you'd not be running a Wiki in the first place.
Please don't compare or even mix frontend like a wiki with backend like the database.
another idea that crossed my mind if you have only limited access to the server: put the LocalSettings.php into a subdir and use .htacces / .htpasswd
BTW, I've been prototyping a departmental Wiki for the Intranet at work, and it's working quite well: I'm using IIS and Integrated Windows authentication to control the basic "can you access the site or not" process. In an intranet environment with everyone using IE, this is transparent to the user, so they only see the Wiki user login - as long as they're permitted to use it.
don't you think your operating system per se is a security risk?
