This would be extremely I agree that it would be wonderful if something like "REMOTE_GROUP" existed (as long as it's clear how multiple-group membership is expressed). For administrators, I agree that the job is best done in Apache (plus its LDAP caching can be used). Personally, I have patched mod_auth_ldap.c as you suggested, so that the group matched by 'Require group' is added to the environment. This has been running quite well. And what a relief it's been!! It is not quite as useful as enumerating _all_ the groups that the principal belongs to, so any of our applications that need this are still required to do their own LDAP queries. Maybe this is not alwaysw so bad, since it means that Apache does not waste time enumerating everybody's entire group membership for every web hit! Overall, your request seems entirely possible, but I have not contributed a patch back to Apache yet.
