title: Using native webserver authentication with Tomcat Manager WebApp
body: <p>I'm running Tomcat 6.0.24 with an AJP connector.  For the connector, I've set the attribute tomcatAuthentication="false" so that Tomcat will get the name of the authenticated user from the native web server (Apache 2.2.15 with mod_proxy_ajp and mod_cosign).  This is working fine for a "Hello, World" servlet I've set up.</p>
  
  <p>I have the Tomcat Manager WebApp working fine when using Tomcat's MemoryRealm, tomcat-users.xml file, and the connector in the default configuration (tomcatAuthentication="true").  But with tomcatAuthentication="false", I get the error "HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied" from the Tomcat Manager WebApp.</p>
  
  <p>How can I configure the Tomcat Manager web application to rely on the native web server (Apache HTTPD) for authentication but use an independent source (tomcat-users.xml or other) for user roles?  I've read the documentation and googled but I don't understand enough about Tomcat yet to find the answer.</p>
