What do you mean by "no reaction"? NTLM HTTP Authentication is transparent
to the user. Try the filter example as described in the NTLM HTTP
Authentication documentation.

If the filter is truely not being loaded then I suggest you learn
more about servlet filters and how to install web applications on
Tomcat. Perhaps the Tomcat mailing list would be more appropriate forum
to ask that type of question.

In general you are not provided enough information. You must perform more
diagnostics. You should post your web.xml filter section and information
from the tomcat log (with loglevel=3 in the filter section).
