If I'm answering the right question...
Create a Filter. Filters can do things to requests and responses before and/or
after the legacy web app code sees the request. The Filter can handle the
authentication, for example by setting a cookie on a first response in a new
session, and reading the cookie afterwards.
I suspect some of the other people on the list may have more information on how
to do this - I know the theory, but haven't had to deal with authentication in
reality!
