Jennifer, I just wanted to clarify that you can set up username/password authentication with any directory server. It does not have to be Active Directory. Many folks use OpenLDAP or ApacheDS depending on the environment. As James mentioned Kerberos is also an option.
Let us know if you have any follow-up questions.
