Hello Brian,

If your web application in a intranet, and the web server is also in your
domain, you can set the virtual folder as windows authentication. And then,
the request to the web service will be authenticated with the doman/AD.

If If your web application on internet, you may need the user to pass
domain user account and password. (Maybe within SSL/Https for security),
and you can authticate them with following way:

Hello Brian,

Even in a windows application, you can have a user input his domain account
and password, and then pass to web service. In web service, you can
authenticate his account aganst AD just like the sample I provided. Can
this help?
