MS IIS can use NTLM authentication in combination with Internet
Explorer. If you use Apache you would have to install the open
source NTLM module, which is only available for Linux, if I
remember well.

I don't think that would work out of the box with other
webbrowsers, so it would only be suitable for an intranet, where
you can be sure about everyones' browser.
