Or you could just add Spring Security to your app. I'll add that as an
option to the new How-To.

Thanks for the great feedback on the options. I put the existing how-to
together pretty much entirely on some Google searches. I'll add your
feedback to the how-to / maybe remove some options that don't look viable.

It is tricky to recommend something right now. I'm guessing you want
something that a) works reliably and b) is likely to be supported for
the long term. Right now Waffle probably comes closest to that. It you
can wait a little while, I should have SPNEGO support in Tomcat 7 fairly
soon. It may - or may not - get back-ported to Tomcat 6. It will depend
on the eventual solution.
