See https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-catalina Then put your-library.jar either in yourApp.war#lib or in $CATALINA_BASE/lib and configure your Authenticator in yourApp.war#META-INF/context.xml or $CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml/server.xml See https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/security-howto.html and https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/valve.html#Authentication > > > I get the following errors.

See https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/386912a93f130078f52e7094be3a730cda742121/build.xml#L214-L221 The sources of com.exane.* are not really needed. You need the classes, i.e. the jar.
