Is this an internal or external application?

If it is internal, you can use AD to authenticate users, instead of requiring them to sign in. So this may make it worthwhile if it is a large internal application.

If it is external, I am not sure if you would get a lot of benefit.

AD is about managing the users on your network to do common tasks - i.e. group policy, security settings, authenticate users etc.

I would suggest you read into the _business_ benefits of what AD can do for your business. If it meets your business needs, then jump into how to do it technically.
