The servlet spec doesn't support anything like this. I think what
you'll have to do is write your own Authenticator. You can configure
your own Authenticator by registering a <Valve> that is an
Authenticator in your webapp's <Context>. Just write your own code and
register it using <Valve>.

You can look at the documentation for, say, BasicAuthenticatorValve:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/valve.html#Basic_Authenticator_Valve

And you're going to want to extend AuthenticatorBase.

Tomcat has a "CombinedRealm" which allows authentication against one
of several sub-realms (like LDAP /or/ JDBC), but does not have a
CombinedAuthenticator, which might be a useful addition. If you come
up with something that works, consider donating it to the project.
