the same problem is described and the recommended solution is to use
sticky load balancing. But, the problem in a tomcat cluster is that the
session ID is generated after a successful authentication. The first
http response (401 with Authentication Header) does not contain a
session ID.

Perhaps an option in Tomcat that will force the creation of a session
when a DIGEST authentication is requested might be useful. This would
tie e.g. mod_jk to the proper back-end server.

I'm not sure how this could be done using mod_jk without such a
feature, or changes to mod_jk itself to annotate the request with the
chosen worker, which could then be converted into a cookie in order to
keep the node-hint associated with the client.
