If you do this (WebExternalAuth) and you're in an AD or Kerberos/LDAP
environment, you may be able to use pass-through authentication (assuming
that your users are logging in with the same credentials that they use for
authentication to your servers).

http://modauthkerb.sourceforge.net/
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth_ldap.html

I have mod_auth_kerb working in this manner, authenticating against AD (not
in RT, but in a different app served through Apache). I haven't tested
mod_auth_ldap yet, but it would only be necessary if you're looking to
authorize your clients (versus just authenticating them).
