libapache2-mod-auth-sys-group: Module for Apache2 which checks user against system group
Sounds very useful.
Problem: total lack of documentation on how to use it.
From extant documentation I can conclude that I probably need to set AuthBasicProvider, but neither sys-group nor sys_group works.
Here’s the .htaccess:
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Wurgle”
AuthBasicProvider sys-group
require group xxx
What do I need to do to make require group *not* get me an unknown provider message or, as happens when I don’t specify a provider, “pcfg_openfile() called with NULL filename”.
I’m using NIS for my system group (and password) database.
I’m trying to switch from using LDAP because the .htaccess which used to work for it stopped working in late June

Further hits from the google search that brought me here revealed the answer - c/o Debian bug #422651 - to be: replace
AuthBasicProvider sys-group
with
AuthGROUP_Enabled on
AuthBasicAuthoritative off
and it all works nicely
