Custom Authenticators
In Tomcat 7 I could use the org.apache.catalina.startup.Embedded class' addAuthenticator method to set up my own custom authenticators. This allowed me to define a new authenticator that a web-app could select with auth-method/ in web.xml. Now that the Embedded class has been removed (in 8), I'm not sure how to accomplish this. Is there some way to add a similar custom authenticator when using the Tomcat class?

I'm not sure I understand your question about standalone. I know that the containing application can manually add any authenticator as a valve, but I have various web applications that are added to the product at runtime. The technique of using the addAuthenticator method lets the developer of the web application select my custom authenticators using the auth-method element.

The code in Embedded class ultimately calls ContextConfig.setCustomAuthenticators(...). Thar API is still available, but it is not so easy to call it once the Context is created. I think the same code could be added to Tomcat.addWebapp(...) method. Please file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.
