Answer 1

Generally, if you just want authentication against Active Directory, the approach most likely to succeed is to use LDAP authentication against the Active Directory LDAP service. The only trick is that unlike most LDAP servers, Active Directory needs to have an authenticated user (and password). Most folks end up establishing a 'ldap-query' user with and hardcode that user for the query configuration.

For examples, see http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/501/ and http://www.google.com/search?q=Django+LDAP+authentication
