You'll need to write a nt domain auth client (native code) and a jni
driver. Its not going to be a simple matter, but people have done
it, I used to work for a web portal vendor and that product did it.
I think there's a third party product out there too somewhere that
will do it for you.

Once you are properly serving through IIS, you can go to the IIS
administration panel and set security for a directory or a page.  How you
set it is different with each version of Windows  IIS so I can't tell you
exactly how to do that.  

On Win2K, here's what I do: Start=Settings=Control Panel=Administrative
Tools=Internet Services Manager.  Right-click on the virtual server you
want to protect (its name will match your Tomcat context name) and select
Properties.  Look for the Security properties.  Un-check Allow Anonymous
That's it.  Security is now enabled for that context.

What this does, is it causes IIS to issue the NT Challenge/response (did I
say that right?) and if the user isn't logged in to a valid domain, it pops
up the username/password box.   Your Tomcat programs read this as 
request.getRemoteUser()
