Are you using DIGEST authentication? If so, all current web browsers
only implement MD5 as the digest algorithm, since HTTP-AUTH-DIGEST
doesn't provide any algorithm negotiation between the client and server.
If you have a custom client, you may be able to use a different digest
algorithm.

Not likely: Tomcat is configurable while most clients are not.
