So did I :(

Unfortunately, the ACLs as pertain to the DocumentRoot are applied 
and matched rather than those which pertain the the /admin/ 
directory, even with the Directory clause like this:

    Alias /admin /tmp
    <Directory /admin>
        Options FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
        AllowOverride None
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Paul's Secret Admin Area"
        AuthLDAPAuthoritative On
        AuthLDAPURL ldap://localhost/cn=Admins,dc=EMC,dc=Centera
        AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN On
        Require group cn=Admins,dc=EMC,dc=Centera
        Satisfy All
</Directory>


Interestingly, when I connect to the URL http://localhost/admin
it prompts me for a username/password pair (though specifies the 
AuthName as specified for DocumentRoot).  I enter a user who is 
specifically *not* in the LDAP 'Admin' group, and it fails, prompting 
me again for valid creds for exactly the same AuthName.  Yet when I 
enter exactly the same creds in again, if succeeds for some reason.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
