It should be documented that JDBCRealm doesn't support digest authentication

           Summary: It should be documented that JDBCRealm doesn't support
                    digest authentication
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.3
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Documentation
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: hontvari3@solware.com


The realm documentaion e.g.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/config/realm.html doesn't
mention that JDBCRealm (and DataSourceRealm) currently cannot support DIGEST
authentication.

There is an old bug report, bug#19767, which analysis the problem in detail:
some basic functions which are required for the Digest authentication are not
implemented. Based on google search several people were affected by the problem.
Moreover, there isn't any kind of error message or log entry which could help, 
this makes the problem more severe.
