Yeah, I'll note that I had ended up abandoning Tomcat's Auth because it
was behaving oddly and the ever changing requirements (or not in some
versions) for that group constraint was a pain.

If you can figure out the right combinations of settings for your
version of Tomcat it seems to work fine. But figuring it out from the
Tomcat docs is a royal pain.
