I don't know a lot about apache auth configuration.

But I think you want to configure LDAP auth separately for each repository
location block. Within each block, use an LDAP URL that matches the
specific group which should have access to this repository.

Unfortunately, I cannot provide any example configuration files.
But I've seen a configuration that worked as described above within
a large enterprise just a couple weeks ago. So I know that it should
work, given the right configuration.

Hope this helps, and good luck,
Stefan
