If the machine on which the web browser is running is joined to a
domain, you can do SPNEGO HTTP authentication (providing both the
browser and server support it, of course). See:

Also, in Windows 2003, there is support for "protocol transitions"
that allow services to acquire Kerberos credentials on behalf of
a user without requiring initial authentication. It will be
interesting to see whether Microsoft document these extensions...
