Here is our configuration in /etc/httpd/conf.d/hobbit-apache.conf
that allows us to authenticate against AD. Took a lot of searching
to find the solution, which was pretty obscure, so hopefully this helps.
I've removed the default comments, so you may want to put them back
or have your own.
Note the "AuthzLDAPAuthoritative
Off" ... that was the kicker in getting it all to play nice.

Really? You know of a way in which I can auth against AD and based
on
page/pages in apache?
Pages and subpages are just physical directories below ~hobbit/server/www/
so you can setup standard Apache ""
definitions to impose
access restrictions.
As for authenticating against an AD, you must use the Apache mod_auth_ldap
module. If you google "apache auth active directory" it
should give you
some hints.
