Found it. I was mixing Location and Directory directives. The following
does exactly what I want:
<Location "/">
Allow from all
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthName "xxxxxxx"
AuthType Basic
AuthLDAPBindDN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
AuthLDAPBindPassword xxxxxxxxxx
AuthLDAPURL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Require valid-user
</Location>
<Location "/protected">
Require ldap-group cn=group1,....
</Location>
<Location "/protected2">
Require ldap-group cn=group2,.....
</Location>
