Tomcat: Realm, access to Request object

I write my own realm implementation for Tomcat 7.x. In the method Principal authenticate(X509Certificate[] certs) I'd like to read request headers. My authentication would be based on client certificate + custom http request value. Is it possible?

The method authenticate is called in
SSLAuthenticator.authenticate(Request request, HttpServletResponse response, LoginConfig config)

But I do not see that the Request object is passed to realm instance. Is there something similar like WebServiceContext that is used for WS?

...
 @Resource
 WebServiceContext wsctx;
 MessageContext mctx = wsctx.getMessageContext();
 HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) 
mctx.get("javax.xml.ws.servlet.request");

Possible to expose a Tomcat Realm instance through JNDI ?

In my web app, I'd like to re-use the (server-wide) Tomcat Realm that is already being used for HTTP Basic authentication but couldn't find a way how to get hold of the actual Realm instance.

I spent quite some time looking for a solution (complicated by the fact that most Google hits actually referred to the LDAP authentication realm) but found none. Is there a "config-file-only" solution or do I need to dig into the Tomcat source code and come up with my own JNDI ObjectFactory to achieve this ?
