Can you possible enable $wgSecureLogin on all wiki?
The feature let you

Hmm, this seems to indicate it will return you to http: after
authenticating; this is an unsafe practice which I would recommend strongly
against.
If you log in on HTTPS, we want to make sure that no session data (eg login
cookies) can leak to HTTP -- where someone on your wireless network could
hijack your session, delete a thousand pages on Wikipedia, and get your
account locked out.
Note also that there appear to still be issues with native SSL when there
are multiple subdomain levels, eg <
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29896#c4> so we're not in a
hurry to point everybody at those https: links until some further shakedown
and fixes. :)
