IE and almost all modern browsers on windows may sent authentication info transparently. Old, non-ie browsers can't and you need user needs to use HTTP plain auth (401 Unauthorized) or form authentication. Only IIS is able to accept it transparently AFAIK, tomcat natevly accepts only form and HTTP-based auth. So: If you want your user not to enter log and pass (you just log into windows and go to web site) -- you need IIS and IE (or modern version of another browser). In all other cases user would need to enter her login and password in browser window (for http auth) or special page (form auth). You may use LDAP AD interface to check this info. That could be done with out of IIS. But for _transparent_ authentication IIS is required as Christopher mentioned.
