Josh, You also need to put something similar to the following in your web.xml file. i.e. the stuff you put in server.xml, just tells Tomcat where to authenticate. The stuff in web.xml, tells Tomcat what resources are protected and what roles are required in order to access a particular resource. I have this in my conf/web.xml and as far as I can tell, it makes it so that it prompts for a password for any resource that is located on the server. If it's just a servlet that you are protecting, I think you should be able to put this in the web.xml file for that context. The Servlet 2.3 spec defines the format of the web.xml file. You can find it at http://java.sun.com under the Servlets section.
