It does not work this way. One think are web2py groups which you check with

@auth.has_membership(role='group-name')

and another things are Active Directory groups. There is no login in web2py 
that maps one into the other. ldap_auth(...allowed_groups = 
['UnixAdmin'],...) if it works (I have not personally tested it) only 
allows members of the group to login, but does not transfer the group info 
into the web2py auth_group/auth_membership tables.
