Apache LDAP auth via Active Directory

Big questions of which I do not have answers to related to getting our intranet servers which are OS X Servers and the web user that hit them, authenticate against the internal AD (Active Directory) server vs the current method of PHP authentication.

I have been reviewing articles related to configuring OS X to join a directory tree, but these only go into client access of services such as file sharing and so forth.

Is it possible via some apache module to configure apache with a secure virtual site that passes given username and password down to the OS layer that passes via LDAP to a local AD server ?
 
At the OS level im not sure, however PHP has ldap capabilites, if you have the option to keep the auth level in an application. Ive tried to use them before but it was a pain in the butt really.
