Re: Can authentication to webapps be controlled by Apache HTTPD serve r rather than tomcat?

I've asked that question a number of time before with no real response from 
the Tomcat developers except for Ignacio Ortega saying that he would look 
into it.  That was a while ago and I have seen any changes since then.

So, Tomcat developers.  Why does tomcatAuthentication="false" no work with 
Coyote?  Is there some other parameter that needs to be used instead of 
this now?  If nothing is yet implemented for this, when will it be?
