Adding to Chuck's reply: if you don't want to set up anything more
complicated than ".htaccess" authentication (I think you mean
httpasswd, right?), then what you are looking for is a "UserDatabase"
resource paired with a "UserDatabaseRealm".

If you look at the stock conf/server.xml that ships with Tomcat (8),
you'll see that both of those exist and are configured already by
default. You just need to modify tomcat-users.xml (also included, with
examples which are all commented-out) to define your users.

For reference:

Configuring the Realm (where the authentication happens):
