Well, it's easy, and at least passably documented. You set RT's
$WebExternalAuth, and you use one many ways to get apache to auth
against smb. You can even autocreate users, though it takes a bit of
code. if you don't want to much about writing code, look for my
code snippet. it creates the function WebExternalAutoInfo
