Re: [patch] mod_auth_ldap doesn't effectively use the cache with"require user User1 User2 .." directives

"require group" works and can replace "require user User1 User2 ..." if one knows about the problem, but there are at least three things here:

- "require user User1 User2 ..." is a supported option and it has to work properly with the cache
- the directive is very convinient and makes the web site (administrator) independant of any LDAP interventions (creating/modifying of additional groups) which is not always easy in a please where we have many subsites that require authentication
- I don't know how others use this option but I think it's in common use, and not having the cache here the access to web site becomes much slower.

The change I propose is rather semantical and should be easy implemented.
