------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2008-02-06 16:44 -------
This is actually working as designed.  Authentication and autorization are two 
different functions.  Since the LDAP URL was specified in an 
<AuthnProviderAlias> section, the directives in that section only apply to 
authentication or Authn.  They do not apply to authorization or authz.  
Therefore, an LDAP URL still needs to be defined if the authorization 
functionality requires it such as in an 'require ldap-group xxx' situation.  
The unfortunate thing is that this is not intuitive in apache 2.2. It will 
make a little more sense in Apache 2.4 when the directive section 
<RequireAlias ... > is introduced.  This will allow both the authentication 
and authorization functionality to be independently configured with separate 
LDAP information if desired.  An equivalent <RequireAlias> would appear as:

<RequireAlias ldap-group my-ldap-group cn=xxx,ou=groups,dc=xxx,dc=fr>
   AuthLDAPURL ldap://xxx/ou=people,dc=xxx,dc=fr 
   ...
</RequireAlias>

<Directory ..>
   ...
   Require my-ldap-group
</Directory>
