Recent versions of Red Hat bundle pam_smb:

So in theory, you can use your NT domain to authenticate anything from
login to sshd to ftpd to xscreensaver.  Take a peek in /etc/pam.d on
any Linux box.

I have never used pam_smb myself, nor have I invoked PAM from Perl or
Apache, so I do not know exactly how to do what kavita wants.  But I
bet it is not too hard...  I would start with a Google search for PAM
and Apache, and then by asking in a more Linux-specific forum.
