Some corrections on the previous email.
I should say
When singleSignOn is commented, those tasks can be achieved if basic
authentication as
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>TEST</realm-name>
</login-config>
is used.

There is single <Host> in server.xml
<Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost">
...
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm"
debug="99"
connectionName="****"
connectionPassword="****"
connectionURL="ldap://url:389";
alternateURL="ldap://url:389";
userBase="DC=AC"
userSearch="(sAMAccountName={0})"
userRoleName="memberof"
roleBase="DC=AC"
roleName="cn"
roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})"
userSubtree="true"
roleSubtree="false"
/>
...
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.SingleSignOn"
debug="0"/>
</Host>
</Engine>
What I want to do is all the applications have the same realm config in
server.xml. When it comes to the different
Applications, the authentication will be performed based on application very
own web.xml.
If the applications in the web.xml have the same <realm-name>, those
applications just need to be authenticated once.
If the applications in the web.xml have different <realm-name>, those
applications need to be authenticated separately.
Those tasks can be achieved if basic authentication as
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>TEST</realm-name>
</login-config>
is used.

To quote from the SSO doc:
"All web applications configured for this virtual host must share the same
Realm."
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/host.html#Single%20Sign%20On
Can you separate the various <Realm>s by <Host>? Or are you stuck with a
single <Host>?
