modules appear to be different looking at available directives. Any clues or suggestions on which module should be used? Where can I find documentation for mod_authz_ldap?
Look inside your httpd.conf file, it will answer that one for you. RHEL's httpd supports ldap auth as shipped.

Your question was about modules, in your httpd.conf you find a list of _modules_ it loads... That should remove the ambiguity around which documentation to follow.
See the line: LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
Except that these are often in /etc/httpd/conf.d/[service].conf. This is certainly the case for mod_dav_svn and mod_perl and numerous other setups.
Don't edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf directly if you can safely avoid it: work in the module-specific configurations files, which makes the configurations a lot more, well, modular.
