I need something other than SHA, I need to use my own custom code for an
encyrption method of my own that is not provided by JDBCRealm

Maybe.  I'll do some reading about form-based authentication.  I'm not
sure.

I'm after this because I already have set up a JDBCRealm based system,
with BASIC authentication, and SHA, under Tomcat for both servlets and
cocoon stuff.  Now I want to tie this together with another application
that encypts passwords differently from any method available in JDBCRealm.

I have the code for the encyption.  If I could simply drop this code into
the user validation JDBCRealm does for me in Tomcat, it'd be great because
the security would all work and I wouldn't have to create any
user/password management pages of my own.

If I can do this, I can tie Tomcat authentication to the password system
my company has on other systems.

Any tips are helpful!  I'm a little lost with this.
