I've got that sort of scenario working pretty well, using Apache's
mod_auth_ldap to authenticate against our Active Directory server, with
a couple of code snippets from the mailing list archives to auto-create
entries in RT's user database as necessary.

Do feel free to drop me a note directly if you'd like.  I'll be glad to
share whatever help I can.
