I can't speak for the OP, but I suspect he'd like to use a SSO for dovecot, utilizing the same credentials as is in their Samba AD infrastructure. [Thus, have Dovecot submit authentications for dovecot to the AD domain and get an ack/nak on success.] So, he's not eager to use NTLMv1, but isn't getting much love in how to setup proxy auth against AD. [I suspect asking on the Samba list isn't a bad idea, but I'm surprised he hasn't gotten some good pointers here. There really ought to be a FAQ of white-paper on it, and I'm dismayed there isn't.]

It's not very used feature as most with AD probably are using Exchange. I'll have a look at the NTLM authentication and see if we can improve it's documentation.
