Ideally the SSLAuthenticatorWithFallback for Tomcat 7 should not store the LoginConfig as an attribute because potentially it can be shared by multiple web applications. Since each PKI web application has a separate instance of the SSLAuthenticatorWithFallback this is probably not a problem. So the patch is ACKed as is.

But if you want, the code probably can be modified like this:

  public boolean authenticate(..., config) {
      HashMap attributes = new HashMap();
      attributes.put("loginConfig", config);
      return doAuthenticate(..., attributes);
  }

  public boolean doSubAuthenticate(..., attributes) {
      LoginConfig config = attributes.get("loginConfig");
      return auth.authenticate(..., loginConfig);
  }

  public String goGetRealName(..., attributes) {
      LoginConfig config = attributes.get("loginConfig");
      return loginConfig.getRealName();
  }

For Tomcat 8 the attributes map can be null.

It might even be possible to merge the two implementations. Recent Tomcat 7 contains additional stuff that reduces the differences with Tomcat 8. But we will need to make sure the latest Tomcat 7 is available on all platforms that we support. This can be done later though.
