Since user/pass authentication is always handled outside openvpn server
(plugin or --auth-user-pass-verify script) - yes, that would be the
way to go, and I see no reason why it shouldn't authenticate against
an AD.

I have not seen the necessary bits and pieces to do so - "something
from the samba (or openldap) suite" would likely be a good start point, 
googling for how to make squid or apache authenticate against the AD.

Watchout that you don't try to build NTLM authentication :-) - this is
something people frequently do on their squid servers so people do not
have to enter credentials at all (since the browser can auto-submit
them) - but this would require client support that we do not have.
