beginner to windows security, can I programmatically access domain passwords?

[Dan]

Hi,

I belong to a small non-profit which runs a windows domain network.
In order to login to the domain every morning, I type in my username
and password.
I would like to set up a small intranet for the organization, and make
it available to staff only. The website would run on a dedicated
linux server within the network. I would like to have folks enter
their domain username and password in order to gain access to the
website. Is there a way to programmatically check the username and
password they enter against the one they use to login to the domain?

There is a module available from sourceforge that will allow NTLM
authentication against an Apache server.

This sounds good. Does anybody know if it needs to be disabled in
order to allow other people from outside the network to access the
machine?
