In the integrated version, the realm is dynaamically accociated to the
Context by either the Host implementation (in the 1.0.x versions), or by a
host listener.

You can associate the realm manually in server.xml:
<Realm className="wrappers.catalina.SlideRealm" namespace="foo" />
(with "foo" being the name of the namespace to connect to)
