In case you have a domain login that should do it.  I am using Gnus
happily with the IMAP interface of our Exchange server over an
encrypted connection.

All I have in my .gnus regarding the connection settings is this:

,----[ .gnus ]
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods 
|       '((nnimap "<freely choosable name>"
|                 (nnimap-address "<ip adress of server>")
|                 (nnimap-stream ssl)
|                 (nnimap-authinfo-file "<path/to/authinfo-file>"))))
`----

In the authinfo file there is only one line:

,----[ .imap-authinfo ]
| machine <ip of server> login <domain user> password <domain password>
`----

In case you don't have the authinfo file Gnus asks for the user name
and password.

HTH,
Ralf
