I need to investigate whether/how it can be set up to provide limited access to only those inside the company (but possibly from their home office, without requiring a VPN).
This seems to me to be part of a larger problem. How do these people conduct other company business from their home office?
I'd put it behind a firewall, then poke holes in the firewall for the home office users.
But if the aversion to VPN is unwillingness to involve the corporate IT department... the VPN would probably be an easier sell. :-)

I *am* the IT department. ;)
I just hate having to go over to someone's house to debug their OpenVPN setup. Especially when https is working just fine for our (secure) Subversion access.
It sounds like I just need to run an htpasswd setup and have them log in twice, once to Apache and once to MediaWiki.
