>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1012
>      Project: Geronimo
>         Type: Bug
>   Components: Tomcat
>     Versions: 1.0-M5

>      Fix For: 1.0-M5

>
> In the jetty integration, in SecurityContextBeforeAfter, a request for an 
> unsecured page results in the default subject being set in the ContextManager 
> (line 288).  This provides a way to call secured ejbs and also provides a 
> source for credentials for calling secured web services.
> In tomcat, we don't do anything like that: in particular there is no source 
> of credentials for secured web services.  
> I think the simplest solution is to, if the app is secured, to add another 
> valve after the standard tomcat security valve, that sets the default subject 
> into the ContextManager if none is there already.
