You cannot do this with Tomcat's authentication mechanism. You will have
to provide an alternative implementation. I recommend looking st
securityfilter (http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net).

It's implemented as a filter, so it works with any servlet container. It
can work with Tomcat's built-in realms or you can write your own. It
supports unsolicited logins (i.e. you can use your own login page that
submits to j_security_check without having to first request a protected
resource). It has configuration similar to that in web.xml, so you don't
have to learn a new configuration format.

You are free to use securityfilter's authentication mechanisms and
completely skip authorization, which is what it looks like you want to
do (by implementing it yourself).

Hope that helps,
