Help setting up windows auth for lighttpd/ldap etc

I'm running a server on my office that I only have accessible to people in our workgroup. I'd like to set it up to authenticate into our windows domain for ease of password management. I havent been able to get ldap working..and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? most of the how-tos I find online are for setting up ldap for user account authentication. I dont need the users to be able to log into the box at all..just webserver.

my company uses secure ldap and I have the needed certificates, though I cant seem to get basic ldap queries working so I must be setting something up wrong. I'm open to using other authentication methods than ldap as I just need to auth into lighttpd.

Here's basically what I want to do:
Specify a list of users that are allowed to access the page.
If the users are in the allowed list, query the windows domain controller to validate their username/password.

thats it. nothing really fancy or complex. is ldap the best way to do this or kerberos, etc..? I would even be willing to switch to apache if that would simplify things.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
