Apache httpd also supports some features that are not available with NGINX. (Easy) LDAP authentication is one of those.

Apache's collection of bundled modules is amazing (and as varied as you'd expect of software two decades old), and only switched on when you switch them on.
Mind explaining this further?

I am currently running an Nginx server which is using PAM service, which in turn is configured to authenticate against LDAP via pam_sss. I don't really see the use case having Nginx authenticating directly to LDAP.
