This is because your http_access rules are only requesting
authentication on requests NOT from your network.

I think you actually want something like:

  http_access allow our_network domainusers
  http_access allow localhost
  http_access deny all

This will: (direct translation to english)

1. Allow requests from your network providing correct authentication

2. Allow requests from localhost without the need of authentication

3. Deny all other uses
