This is exactly the approach I chose for our department wiki.

Apache authenticates against an LDAP using mod_ldap, DokuWiki then uses
this data and the htaccess auth backend (see
http://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:htaccessauth) to authorize. Accounts to
allow are defined in conf/htusers.auth.php, including groups assigned to
them. So far, it works pretty well for us.

Just my two cents,
