In tomcat custom authentication can be achieved by implementing your own realm. Although I would first check if any of the built-in tomcat realms (DataSourceRealm, JDBCRealm, ...) could be used. See http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/realm-howto.html (depending on your tomcat version) for more detail.
