           Summary: Support authentication only access
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.16
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The recent changes in the handling of the <role-name>*</role-name> have broken 
a 
long standing ability to specify authentication only access. Although not 
explicitly supported by the servlet spec(and I think it should be), this is a 
useful feature that users ask for. It can be achieved in various vendor 
specific 
ways via tomcat customizations, but I would like to see inherent support for 
it. 
The simplest approach would be a Realm attribute like 
authenticationOnlyAllRolesMode=true allowing for an authenticated user access 
regardless of the role(s) they have been granted.
