The only solution that I see, is to use your own security. One solution: use a Filter that is mapped to every request. Check if username and passwort are present, validate them and place a user object in the session. Where ever you want to have diffen content for an authenticated user you can query for that object to show the content.
As we have implemented something like that, quite before something like realms came to the world, I havn't looked at the details of realms. So I'm not shure how much of the Realms you can reuse to implement this.
