Yes. It is a feature called 'external authentication or 'O/S authentication'

you would need to make sure
sqlnet.ora's sqlnet.authentication_services = (NTS) and
init.ora's os_authent_prefix is the null / empty string and in Oracle
issue
create user "\\<domainname\username" identified externally

That is all there is to it.
Further details in the doco.
