Have a look at SetEnvIf and mod_rewrite where you can set enviroment
variable based on something in the headers, uri and/or request string.
Not sure if yo can use that var inside mod_authz_ldap though.
And there's the rub -- as I'd already guessed, you're confirming
there is a way to extract the desired value for a group name or filter
specification from the presented URI.
The issue remains whether I can USE that value in the REQUIRE directive
effective while satisfying the request implied by that presented URI
without somehow enhancing the functionality of the REQUIRE directive
and the extention that mod_authnz_ldap (or maybe it's util_ldap or
some other module?) provides when is adds ldap-group and ldap-filter
as potential objects to the directive.
