All J2EE containers are required to support single sign on across individual web applications depoyed on the same container instance. You'll need to consult the container's specific documentation for how this is set up, but the general idea is that a user is authenticated only once and can navigate between the various apps without having to reauthenticate. For Tomcat 4.1.24 in particular, see: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/config/host.html and scroll down to "Single Sign On" in the "Special Features" section.
