A JDBCRealm is the default database connection used for getting security 
information such as username, password and role for user logins in a web 
application.

This is a very simple definition, so you should read 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.2-doc/JDBCRealm.howto and 
setup the suggested tables and data on a JDBC capable SQL server and 
uncomment the appropriate tags in server.xml. I recommend PostgreSQL 
(http://www.postgresql.org).

Good luck!

John
