        There are two methods: 
        1. look in the CPAN archives for SMB-authentication for Apache 
        (Apache-AuthenSmb-0.60). This is a mod_perl module. You also need the 
        mod_perl module and the Authen-Smb perl module to operate it.
        
        2. also in CPAN: mod_ntlm: a Apache module for automatic 
        authentication from IE. I haven't tried this one and I'm not sure how 
        it works. It looks like it needs to have a special (security) setting 
        in IE to make it work. 
        This module can only authenticate with the supplied Windows name & 
        password and by a given name & password as in method 1.
        
        Best regards,
        
        Dirk
