[users@httpd] require group posixGroup (LDAP)

I have LDAP directory with groups of class posixGroup (to do /etc/groups 
functionality on servers ). I want LDAP to take over Apache2.2 
authentification also. It's important to me that i can restrict access 
to resorces by "require group" directive. However i'm having problems, 
as it seems to me that mod_auth_ldap doesn't "understand" groups of 
class posixGroup. When i create group of class groupOfUniqueNames 
everything works fine, but again i can not do Posix group accounting. Is 
there any way to make Apache look at my posixGroup objects?

It's driving me crazy. I'm stuck with this problem for 3 days, and i 
can't believe this bullshit. I don't want to make redundant groups for 
linux/samba and for apache users! this is ridiculous. Group is a group. 
i don't know what to do. I tried to make some filter in AuthLDAPURL, so 
it would manually filter users which belong to posixGroup, but i 
couldn't make it. I can't believe noone faced this....
