NTLM authentication itself is fundamentally broken anyway - it makes
assumptions which it shouldn't do. It won't work through a proxy
(unless that proxy takes special steps to ensure that it doesn't break
it, which it shouldn't need to bother with).
The moral of the story is - don't use NTLM!
You may be able to perform the authentication in Apache and pass it
through to Exchange in a header - I've worked with other products that
allow this but I've never worked with Exchange. I'm currently using
mod_auth_kerb to do this with a backend proprietary server.
HTH,
Neil.
