The challenge/response protocol authentication, as far as I know, is
specific to microsoft. that's why you have to use IIS for example to do
the authenticatio for you.
I don't know of another browsers / ftp clients / mail clients that can
perform that kind of authentication, beside those from microsoft (IE,
Outlook, ...)

You may also have a look at
http://www.zope.org/Members/jephte/jcForceAuth for a way to force users
to authenticate. they have to identify themselves to browse the site,
but at least they can use their own nt account/password. be warned
though: passwords are sent unencrypted over the wire with basic
authentication.
