I've implemented "remember me" functionality using cookies and filters for form-based authentication. You could probably do the same thing - if you can get your servers are in the same domain (and therefore you cookies can persist b/w applications).

For example, if I already know the user id and password (e.g. from another system), I would like to avoid the lazy authentication J2EE process and login the person in automatically. I know I can force a call to a protected resource and auto post the login form, but some app servers are making this easier for developer. Does Tomcat offer anything in this area?
