Hi,
We tried to solve this a couple of ways, and using the LDAP plugin proved to be quite fiddly (maybe I just don't get on with X500...). We used to use IIS, but switched to Apache, then moved the servers to linux - found the subjective "responsiveness" was better on LAMPP than windows.
We ended up plumping for:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Otheus/Auto_Login_via_REMOTE_USER
... and tweaking it. Its a much simpler extension, that merely creates users on demand, assuming the server has authenticated them correctly, and doesn't rely on much other than server config (I think there may be some issues with cases to resolve). With permissions set right on the sub folder, everything should work fine. We ended up moving to mysql authentication via auth_mysql, and keeping separate user lists, but little needed to change.
Hope that helps,
Alex

All,
I have MW 1.10.1 / IIS / WinXP Server 2003 / PHP 5 / SMTP installed and working flawlessly on our intranet.
There is only one thing left to do to make this complete -> Automatic Authentication against the domain 'ACCOUNT-01' via Windows native NTLM authentication.
Before I embark on this journey I was hoping that anyone could offer any tips, extension ideas or pitfalls to avoid.
I have found these which seem to work with apache but we use IIS for reasons beyond my control.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Authentication which lists some contenders but nothing I would consider yet and http://www.jamiekerwick.co.uk/?p=13 which is for apache. But what of IIS?
