Tomcat implements container-managed security according to the Java
Servlet Specification, which does not specify the behavior above.
Instead, once a user is authenticated, their identity is considered
"known" and their roles dictate the resources they may access.

If you want the behavior you describe above, you'll have to use a
different security mechanism than the one provided by Tomcat.
