Tryst,
Yes and its far easier than it sounds. The only issue I have is that
users have to enter in the fully qualified domain user name such as
"DOMAIN\USER". That depends on your domain scoping though. But it works
fine other than that. I have the authentication hooked up through PAM.
Apache can authenticate with PAM through mod_auth_pam.
Get your system authenticating first:

And then use mod_auth_pam to get apache authenticating. Basically, just
don't specify a password file.
