I don't think there is a HTTP Basic authentication realm. The authentication type is declared in the <auth-method> of your web.xml and can be used in conjunction with a number of different realm implementations.
Exactly what do you mean by re-use? Does this mean you are doing authentication from within your web app?

Hi, 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 ?
