This is my remembrance as well, but this discussion is nearly about 10 years old
(https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/71eed505b12bfc9141cd31279e6c97c8984f371cb26342b6496a14a4%401306784907%40%3Cdev.apr.apache.org%3E).
Probably worth restarting it.
I guess there are two options on the table:
1. Create LDAP support within APR with an API that people can agree on. Of
course people do not only need to agree, but
the work of doing this would need to be done over at APR land (hopefully by
several people to have maintainability).
2. Do all the LDAP stuff in httpd, which of course also requires a proposal for
an architecture / API and someone doing this work.
