I use mod_auth_kerb to do single sign on using Kerberos against Active
Directory for our Windows users.
This module allows me to pass there username to $WebExternalAuth
I then use the LDAP integration overlay, to create local RT users that
match users found in Active Directory.
This wiki article contains all the links and information you need to set
up this integration and get it working perfectly.

Believe it or not, I have our RT service more integrated with Active
Directory then many other MS products are that we use.
The key is to remember that AD is nothing more then Kerberos and LDAP.
Happy Reading.
