Assuming you are using apache as your webserver then yes, it will handle authentication to Active Directory. You can go with plain LDAP authentication
which is easier to setup or if you want single-sign-on then you go with kerberos authentication.
I'd say go with LDAP to begin with, you'll be up and running in no time. There are a lot of howtos out there on the matter.

Cheers,
Omar

And authentication to AD is also Apache's job, I presume?
 I am seeing a pattern evolving here :-)
 Thanks

This is Apache's job.  It can be done.

    Hi all
         I was asked this morning if we can authenticate Hobbit users against
    our company LDAP or NIS.
    We have multiple hobbit "administrators" and it would be good to
    keep track of who acknowledged or updated issues, but maintaining
    the passwords manually will be a pain.
         Has anybody done this before?
    If so, how?
         Regards
