You could use LDAP to query the AD for user group membership. When
logged in the variables AUTH_PASSWORD and AUTH_USER are set in PHP, use
these in LDAP query to find the user. LDAP support is built into MS-AD,
but I don't know if it's working. I do the same thing on Novell NDS, and
that's working perfect.
