SSPIOmitDomain option may help you. I'm using mod_auth_sspi and I also
don't want domain\user string. So I'm using SSPIOmitDomain option and
turn on in httpd.conf which removes domain part. For example, I'm
auth'ed as "gotoh" in apache world (and in mod_dav_svn) with this option
instead of "TAIYO\gotoh". Of course logged as "gotoh" on commit.

I think SSPIOmitDomain option can be used only with modified version of
mod_sspi.
