Ok, thanks for confirming it's working as expected.
I'll give your suggestion a go and report back here.

It is not intended to work this way.  But there is hope since LDAP authn leaves 
a paper trail.

You may be able to detect if LDAP has done the authentication by reading the 
AUTHENTICATE_ variables described by mod_authnz_ldap in a "Require expr" or 
"Require [not] env" wrapped in RequireAll to implement your two cases.
