Your issue isn't the .htaccess file.  Do you have something like this in 
your httpd.conf file?

# use .htaccess files for overriding
AccessFileName .htaccess
# and never show them
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
	Order allow,deny
	Deny from all
</Files>

Otherwise, the .htaccess file is just anothr file in the directory, with 
no special significance.

Assuming, of course, that you have apache configured properly to use AD.
