[users@httpd] Htpasswd Authentication to A.D. Authentication

I currently have my web server configured to authenticate users from
accessing anything https: on my server via htpasswd. It works great
but is not becoming really annoying for users to have a password for
Active Directory to login to their PC and then a separate password for
the web server to access the company Intranet. I would like to know if
it's possible for when I user tries to connect to https://mydomain
rather than Apache using htpasswd authentication, it would use A.D.
authentication. Does anyone know if this is possible and or something
I can easily achieve without having a crazy configuration scheme in my
httpd.conf?

I am currently using Apache 2.2 on CentOS 5.3.

Below is how I have htpasswd configured in my http.conf file.

<Directory "/var/www/html/intranet/main">
                AuthName "Company Intranet"
                AuthType Basic
                AuthUserFile /var/www/html/intranet/secure/passwd
                require valid-user
        </Directory>
