Apache::AuthCookieNTLM is an interface to Shannon Peevey's 
Apache::AuthenNTLM module. This modules authenticates a user 
using their Windows login against the Windows PDC, but to also 
stores their login name into a cookie. This means that it can be 
accessed from other pages and stops the system having to 
authenticate for every request.

We did consider using Apache::AuthCookie to store the details in a 
cookie but since using NTLM is basicaly there to remove the need
to login and is almost exclusively for intranets (as it needs access
to the PDC), we decided it was feasible not to use it.

the NTLM configuration.
