Hi Patrick,

you dont need to update this file if you just add an Authenticator in
context.xml/server.xml. It is only used for built in authenticator
method referenced in web.xml.
A custom authenticator wouldnt have the associated config in web.xml
so not sure what would be your plan then.

Did i get it right?
