I can check if I can add some sample code for this to the next beta 
(expected the next days). The cookie stuff is quite easy to do, the 
login/logout removal stuff can (at least partly) done by configuration now.

It doesn't do that, but if you link to moin from your secure site,  the 
cookie should be already there.

You need some auth plugin.
