Hi,

IIRC in tomcat7 you need to use 2 different users for the manager and admin roles. So edit tomcat-users.xml and use something like:

Code:

<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<user username="paul" password="mypassword" roles="manager-gui,manager"/>
<user username="foo" password="bar" roles="admin-gui,admin"/>

Regards

You need to include everything inside a <tomcat-users> tag. Add and the xml declaration just to be formal:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<user username="paul" password="mypassword" roles="manager-gui,manager,admin-gui,admin"/>
</tomcat-users>
