I don't think that it is not easy to choose the algorithm if using DIGEST. (At least I failed...) According the docs https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/realm-howto.html#Digested_Passwords -- "If using digested passwords with DIGEST authentication, the cleartext used to generate the digest is different and the digest must use one iteration of the MD5 algorithm with no salt." Sounds for me that you have to use md5 at least once. It would be much easier to get rid of md5 with form based auth etc.
