I don't know about active use, but I've been very happy with mod_ldap.
It's fairly flexible, and the authors have been good about getting back to
me when I've run into trouble (be it a bug or a missing feature).

Since there are a bunch of LDAP modules with differing information in
them, here's the author info from mod_ldap.c:

/*
 * mod_ldap.c: LDAP-based access checking for Apache
 *
 * Lyonel VINCENT (vincent@trotek.ec-lyon.fr) and Jeff Morrow
