Tomcat, RestAPI, HttpBasicAuthentication

OK, I figured this out and will document for the next person:

There are multiple web.xml files. The correct web.xml file to which to add the and in the snippet above is:

{camunda directory}/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.5/webapps/engine-rest/WEB-INF/web.xml

and NOT:

{camunda directory}/server/apache-tomcat-9.0.5/conf/web.xml
