First of all, I think it's unfair of you to ask for a module 'that
works' since most of them actually do so. Also, I don't really get
what you mean by 'one that is supported'.
The bells and whistles that people expect are often a function of the
schemas of their LDAP directories which are in turn a function of the
organizational structures of their respective companies or
institutions.
When I wrote my own module (cfr http://diamond.rug.ac.be/) at the time,
it was not because the ones that I found at http://modules.apache.org
did not work or were not supported, but simply because they didn't fit
my directory schema.
I'm afraid that there will always be different LDAP authentication
modules around because it is the very code that links your apache
server with the specifics of your directory setup.
