There is no ready-to-use code for ldap groups.

There was some work on ldap groups in summer of code, see there:

http://hg.moinmo.in/moin/1.9-ldap-kerberos-agrigorev/

But at the end, we did not merge that code as it was not tested enough
(and maybe also not developed enough or even not working, i don't
remember exactly).

If you want to help with that, have a look there and contact us if you
have questions / need help, e.g. on #moin-dev on freenode IRC.

For openid, please have a look at the respective code yourself. We have
simple user auth with openid, we have openid server builtin and (IIRC)
there was some special stuff done by a ubuntu developer for some
launchpad stuff related to groups.

Cheers,

Thomas
