There are actually several mixed authentication schemes out there, but
they are usually somewhat hacks. You could, for example, have a
multi-tier authentication scheme where you first authenticate against a
group file (using "require group foo"). If they pass that mechanism,
then their credentials are passed on to the LDAP server for
username/password authentication. Who knows... It might even work ;-)
