[support] Windows App -> Drupal Login

[antgiant]

NTLM is the traditional way to do this in a windows environment.  However,
one of the modules that allows you to pass a username and password to a
special page and auto login might also meet your needs.

(Beware that NTLM works in IE but is opt in for Firefox).
