Apache use AD Authentication/Permission

Hi,

We are going to setup a web server, wondering if we should use IIS or Apache.

Can Apache use Windows authenitcation? Probably yes,and may need some plug-ins. Is this the case?

Can Apache use Windows file permission? I really like to use windows permission, which is easy to control.

On the other side, IIS seems having some bad reputatioin.

I’d like to know your input on this?

Thanks!
