Hello Kevin,

That is something that one of the Tomcat developers will need to
answer.  I haven't not successfully implemented any fallback...such as
when I access my contexts directly through port 8080 bypassing Apache.
I think if you add the necessary stuff in the web.xml to do BASIC
auth and then access via port 80 through Apache+mod_jk, you will be
prompted to log in there and then again in your app.

Anyone have a solution for this?
