Do you mean Active Directory users and groups or local Windows users and
groups? If you mean local users and groups then I don't know. If you
mean Active Directory users and groups then you can do an LDAP query
from Apache that uses either username or group. I use LDAP every day to
grant access to various SVN repositories via Active Directory groups.
