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.
