Ben,
You can use NTLM, LDAP, or Kerberos for that. The easiest (for both
you and your users) is NTLM. You'll want to use the Jespa library
(http://www.ioplex.com/). I am not affiliated with them in any way,
but I do use the product. With that, all you need to do is add some
settings to your web.xml file and you will be able to get the username
from your server-side code. Everything you will need is in their
documentation and they have a 60-day trial. After that it is limited
to 25 users. If you have 25 or fewer users, you can use their product
for free.
HTH,
Chad
