            Bug ID: 66665
           Summary: Provide option to supply role mapping from a
                    properties file
           Product: Tomcat 9
           Version: 9.0.76
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: micha...@apache.org
  Target Milestone: -----

Note: This applies to all Tomcat versions

In enterprises you often use a centralized identity store where you do not have
control over the group/roles names, but in your application you want to use
friendly role names, e.g., 'admin', 'user', 'clerk', etc. Luckily realms
utilize  Context.findRoleMapping(String) indirectly, so we only need to
populate those mappings.

I have written such a mapping listener and would like to integrate it into
upstream:
https://mo-tomcat-ext.sourceforge.net/apidocs/net/sf/michaelo/tomcat/extras/listeners/PropertiesRoleMappingListener.html
if there is a general interest, I guess there is. There code is straight
forward:
