You don't mention which Tomcat you are using. Assuming it is a Tomcat 3.2.x version, I think this is a known problem. For both Ajp12 and Ajp13 protocols, the remoteUser is always set to the "user" supplied with the browser's request. This isn't the user the FORM login seeks to authenticate, which is a Tomcat maintained user. Try setting debug="1" on SimpleRealm, or debug="3" on JDBCRealm to see the "user" that the realm is trying to authenticate.
In Tomcat 3.3, the "tomcatAuthentication" attribute of Ajp13Interceptor and Ajp12Interceptor controls whether the browser supplied user or the Tomcat maintained user is used for the Ajp13 or Ajp12 requests. The default is to use Tomcat's user. Hope this helps.
