You can also do it through LDAP authentication. AD users can bind to the 
DC's ldap server with their credentials.

You can configure dovecot to search dn & bind if users are within the 
whole ldap tree (auth_bind). Or use direct bind if the user dn is 
predictable (auth_bind_userdn). The latter is more efficient as you'll 
only do one ldap request per login.
