How can I add an email id to auth instead of adding a whole group? Is that
possible? I don't want to give the access to all the members of the groups
in the AD. Following is the web.xml of my tomcat.

<security-constraint>
                <web-resource-collection>
                        <web-resource-name>Protected
Area</web-resource-name>
                        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
                </web-resource-collection>

                <auth-constraint>
<--! These are the groups in AD -->
                        <role-name>Engineering</role- name>
                        <role-name>Migration Expert</role-name>
                        <role-name>Developers</role-name>

                </auth-constraint>
        </security-constraint>

  <security-constraint>
   <web-resource-collection>
      <url-pattern>/update/*</url-pattern>
   </web-resource-collection>
  </security-constraint>

        <login-config>
                <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
                <realm-name>Services Portal</realm-name>
        </login-config>
