[Mediawiki-l] Is LDAPAutoAuth Without Smartcard Supported?

After banging my head on a wall for quite a while, I realize I may have 
made a very silly misinterpretation regarding the functionality provided 
by Ryan Lane's LDAPAuthentication (and LDAPAutoAuthentication) extension.

Here is my scenario

MW 1.13.1 on IIS 6.0 (Win2K3)
IIS has IWA configured for IE and it works without flaw. (No anonymous 
auth on IIS, all visitors are logged-in domain members using IE with the 
wiki's NetBIOS name in the "Intranet Zone")
I have LDAPAuthentication working /almost/ perfectly (with the exception 
of two out of four preferences which do not get set..but thats a thread 
for tomorrow)

Can I not use the extension(s) to automatically log the user into the 
wiki without a Smartcard?  Or am I forced to buy a commercial extension 
like the solution from IOPLEX? 

Thanks, folks, this is driving me nuts...

John
