You won't get anything out of Microsoft on APIs for the Mac, since that's
Apple's department.

Mac OS uses a pluggable authentication module scheme (User Authentication
Modules) supported by the AppleShare client libraries. Documentation on that
is here

<http://developer.apple.com/sdk/>
<ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/AppleShare_IP_6.3/>

Microsoft already offers an User Authentication Module for MacOS that
supports NTLM.
