You could write a custom JNDIRealm that does the
mapping/authentication.  I've seen this done with postgres, but not
with an LDAP server (or AD), but it should be a similar process.  Then
you add it to tomca/lib and configure your context and web.xml to use
the custom JNDIRealm instead of the provided realm
