            Bug ID: 56246
           Summary: NPE in MemoryRealm when authenticating unknown user
           Product: Tomcat 7
           Version: 7.0.52
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: m...@sven-lilienthal.de

When using the embedded tomcat with a MemoryRealm for basic authentication, a
request containing an unknown username leads to a NullPointerException.

java.lang.NullPointerException
org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm.authenticate(MemoryRealm.java:143)   
org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator.authenticate(BasicAuthenticator.java:164)
....

MemoryRealm.authenticate get the principal via principals.get(username).
If the user is not known, he result is null.
