authentication for a group or for a user

We are running apache 2.2.6 on a Linux machine.  We have enabledldap authentication. I would like to allow users to authenticate to aparticular directory either using a valid ldap userid from a list ofvalid userids or if they are a member of a group that I have defined inan external file. 
I put the following code into my httpd.conf file

<Directory /my/directory>
     AuthType Basic
     AuthName "Private  Pages"
     AuthBasicProvider ldap file
     AuthGroupFile /WWW/httpd/conf/.htgroup
     AuthUserFile /WWW/httpd/conf/.htpasswd
     AuthLDAPRemoteUserAttribute cn
     AuthLDAPURL "ldaps://a.server.com:111/o=Users?cn"
     AuthLDAPBindDN cn=InternetAuthUser,o=system
     AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxx
     AuthzLDAPAuthoritative Off
     AuthLDAPRemoteUserIsDN On
     Require group scientists 
     Require user user1 abuser

This did not work.  The only way that I was able to allow theusers user1 and abuser to get in to the directory was by creating agroup for the and adding that group to the require group line anddeleting the Require user line.
Is there a way to authenticate either via a user or via a group?

Thanks for any help
