Hi Tunde, I have never tried this before but I will suggest you try your auth systems one at a time to know they are working before implementing them.
Nagios uses apache http authentication by default so you should not have any issues with this. Or maybe I am missing something, please correct if I am. Never tried NTLM authentication with nagios so I can't help in that area but you can look at this link http://www.itefix.no/i2/node/11683 I am sure there are pam or kerberos modules that can talk to a dbase like ldap or AD.
