Answer 1

Try including servlet-api.jar as well.

java -cp bin\tomcat-juli.jar;lib\catalina.jar;lib\tomcat-util.jar;lib\servlet-api.jar org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase -a SHA passwd

EDIT

After trying to run this myself, there was yet another class missing. Instead of including every JAR in the classpath manually, I decided it would be easier to just include them all with lib\*. Try this...it works for me!

java -cp bin\tomcat-juli.jar;lib\* org.apache.catalina.realm.RealmBase -a SHA passwd
