Yes, it is possible. You just create your own Authenticator class (probably
extending Tomcat's AuthenticatorBase and implementing the authenticate
method). Then you do:
<Context ......>
<Valve className="com.myfirm.mypackage.MyAuthenticator" .... />
....
</Context>
This will cause Tomcat to use your Authenticator instead of one of it's own.
