After digging into the servlet 2.4 specification, it's clear that the
"*" role-name isn't going to work, either. The spec makes it clear
that the wildcard role means "any of the roles defined in web.xml",
NOT "any authenticated user." See this thread here:

OK, good that I read this first, I was about to try the wildcard entry.
So, we are back to finding out what roles your container LDAP realm
returns. The documentation for your servlet container SHOULD specify
that at least one generic role is returned. You will need to check the
Sun Webserver 7 documentation to see what roles it returns. I did a
little light Googling and didn't find anything, but this has got to be
something that has already been solved. Your server admin surely knows
what roles the LDAP realm returns.
I know the right people to talk to, I will inquire and get back to you.
Thanks so much for all the help.
