What about using a transparent squid proxy? Squid supports a tonne of
authentication methods.
If you put squid as people's default gateway then you can transparently
redirect all web requests through squid, if they hadn't authenticated then
you could have an authentication box pop up or redirect them to an
authentication webpage if you prefer.
Not sure of your topology so this may not be a suitable solution (I know it's
not quite what you asked for).
