I can't find any direct mechanism either, if you don't want to use Tomcat internal classes. Here's a rather ugly method, but it might work. The web.xml for the webapp is accessible as a String via the JMX path: Catalina:WebModule://[host]/[appName]:none:none:Attributes:deploymentDescriptor Once retrieved, you could parse that for the <login-config> element. (You could also just read in the web.xml file, if running from an expanded war file.) It does seem odd that there's not a standard API to retrieve the <login-config> values, but I suppose that's because it's intended to be used only by container-managed authentication. Note that if you leave out the <realm-name> element, it defaults to [host]:[port], which is easily retrievable from the Request object via getServerName() and getServerPort(). - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
