[pmwiki-users] Problem with login

I'm running into a strange situation with AuthUser and logins.
I've used AuthUser in several wikis without issue. I added AuthUser to
a new wiki and it seemed to work. I created a user and user group and
updated config.php to specify that the group would have edit authority.
Everything seemed to work OK. In the browser window where I entered my
login credentials, I can edit a page. When I try to edit a different
page I'm able to without having to re-enter credentials. I presume that
the previous login is recorded in a cookie in the browser.
When I attempt to edit pages from a different system or from a
private/incognito browser window, I am unable to. I am prompted for
name and password. When I enter them, the website takes a long time to
respond, and then redirects to a bogus page.
The link for to the page displaying the login box is
https://example.com//Main/HomePage?action=edit
After entering the credentials, and a long wait, the redirect is to
https://main/HomePage?action=edit
I changed config.php to set fixed 'admin' and 'edit' passwords
(essentially ignoring AuthUser), but I see the same behavior.
