Really? You know of a way in which I can auth against AD and based on page/pages in apache?
Pages and subpages are just physical directories below ~hobbit/server/www/ so you can setup standard Apache "<Directory ...>" definitions to impose access restrictions.
As for authenticating against an AD, you must use the Apache mod_auth_ldap module. If you google "apache auth active directory" it should give you some hints. I always use this module:

Very easy to install and also very easy to hack the perl source and add your own authentication mechanisme. (I added a username / paswoord combo so I can log on even when the AD servers are down)
