I'm sorry, I see my wording wasn't very clear. I meant to say not to use
container based authentication at all because that will be server
specific. The solution for cross-container, out-of-the-box
authentication is to provide a servlet filter for that does all that. 

Now, I think this isn't a perfect solution. More code to write and
maintain etc. So I think you have a point when you realy want to provide
out-of-the-box authentication. I don't know if Slide should provide
this. Maybe. Still, it doesn't have to be Tomcat.
