I think JNDIRealm will do this. However, it seems to be a pretty newly added
feature and as far as I can tell, it isn't documented very well. I've been
wondering the same thing. If you figure it out, please let me know. You
might want to do a search of the mail list archives. I saw a few messages
about it in there. However, it looked like it was about a 3rd party add-on
that did it. I'm pretty sure the functionality now exists in it natively. I
think it's configured similar to JDBCRealm in server.xml. So, I've been
thinking that I might try to figure that out first, since, it seems to be
better documented.
