Basic/Digest authentication will not prompt you for a domain name, as these
are Internet standards which do not know anything about the concept of
Windows Domains.
The browser has no way of knowing what OS the web server is running, so can
never know whether to prompt for a domain.
NTLM authentication dialogs will always prompt for a domain as well, since
these auth requests are Windows specific.
Your choices are:
* Use NTLM if you're not going through a firewall and use MS browsers
exclusively
* Use Basic and perform user education
* Change the default domain for Basic Authentication to the domain with the
users who generate most support calls
