Presuming that you've used BASIC as your <login-method>, this will do the
trick:

  response.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
  return;

which is pretty much what Tomcat's authenticator does if you ask for a
protected resource and have not logged in yet.

For more information on how basic authentication works, see:
