I have an idea for you, and it will only work because of the use of HTTP Basic authentication. With HTTP Basic, the username and password are present in every HTTP request. Just because Tomcat is ignoring them doesn't mean you have to ignore them. You can log the incoming HTTP header WWW-Authenticate and you'll capture the user's username. Unfortunately, you'll also capture their password, which is a REALLY BAD THING TO DO in a log file like that. But that might be the beginning of a solution. Tomcat's access log component is a Valve, which means it runs before any Filters. If you wrote a Valve to parse the WWW-Authenticate header and place the user's username in a request parameter, you could log that using the AccessLogValve. The Valve will be relatively simple to write, but it does require that you compile it against the Tomcat API itself, and then deploy the Valve at the server level instead of in your application.
