Martin,
There is a good material about LDAP with Tomcat from Wrox's Professional JSP. There are two chapters that talk about this, and on chapter 15 they write a tomcat interceptor to do this task. I am currently trying to squeez sometime to test that. If you want to download the source code from their site and take a look at it.
I know they have few issues with their interceptor. For example I had to make the class extend SimpleRealm instead of CheckSecurity.
If you want to play with it and we can cooporate on expanding this code or put it in a seperate project if you want. If not I am glad to point out this great book to you and everyone else.
Ahmed.

I have been patiently lurking and waiting to see some news on the
existence of a way to do Servlet container (ie Tomcat) authentication
against an LDAP source of security info.
I even posted an RFP at one of these freelancer sites (ants.com) to have
one built. No credible responses.
Limited though I am at programming java (or anything), I'm considering
trying to build one myself. But I thought I'd ask one last time: is
there a JNDI or LDAP Interceptor in the works anywhere?
If not, any advice on the scope of the project? Do I just get the
JDBCRealm source and analogize? (Sure hope we don't need threads! And
callbacks sound hard, too.)
TIA,
martin
