You may want to use MediaWiki's built in restriction which is tested
and in use in various private wikis:

The main page can be a splash page that says
"members only" or
supplies a login form. You set it so that only logged-in users can
view any other pages. Then you authenticate against the forum (this is
the "magic beans" bit, I'm not sure of the details, but I'm sure
others have done this).
Example (though this does use MediaWiki's login system):
