Hi Arun.
As asked, your question is difficult to understand, and even more to answer
I think.
What is exactly what should happen where ?
I'll give you a possible scenario, and you tell us if this scenario is what
you want to do, or tell us your own scenario, ok ?

My scenario :
Your configuration is such that all HTTP (browser) accesses go to Apache
first.  Apache does the authentication via LDAP (using for example
mod_authnz_ldap) for any URLs that are protected (including the ones that go
later to Tomcat).
Than Apache decides which calls go to Tomcat (via a mod_jk connector or
mod_proxy_ajp).
mod_jk (and the Tomcat side of that connector) is configured so that the
Apache authentication is passed on to Tomcat.
Tomcat itself does not do authentication, but relies on the user-id passed
on by Apache (and the roles defined in Tomcat) to access the Tomcat
applications.

re : Tomcat Connector, attribute "tomcatAuthentication" or something like
that.
