Re: No Authentication Dialog appears for Tomcat Manager
Hi, I just experienced the same problem, found this thread via Google, and figured I'd post my experience and solution. Just like Mark's experience, I installed Tomcat and could not use the manager app because the browser never presented me a dialog box for the username and password. Sure enough, an analysis of the HTTP response headers reveals no WWW-Authenticate header, so the browser is not at fault: HTTP/1.1 401 Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8 Content-Length: 954 Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2008 02:56:12 GMT (Apache Tomcat/6.0.14 - Error report body here...) However, I noticed in my catalina.out numerous exceptions where Tomcat was getting permission denied while attempting to write to files. Sure enough, when I corrected the permissions so that the tomcat user had write permissions to all relevant directories and files, everything started working normally. I can see how the strange behavior of the manager app could be really frustrating and not very helpful, but it turned out to be a pretty mundane problem.

Re: No Authentication Dialog appears for Tomcat Manager
The message you see in browser, namely HTTP Status 401 - appear
probably because your browser for an unknown reason does not support
basic authentification or has it disabled (securities in browser that
prevent basic auth outside of ssl?). The text you see is normaly sent by
tomcat along with http 401 code + basic auth headers. In my browser it
appear only if i click cancel in my authentification popup. Could you
sniff your connection to ensure the basic auth headers are correctly
sent to browser by tomcat? And indeed, manager/html is the html
interface to tomcat manager.

Re: No Authentication Dialog appears for Tomcat Manager
That's not it. I tried this site http://gemal.dk/browserspy/password.html
which has a basic authentication test built into it. It displayed and
worked properly in my browser. I am not using SSL. I don't have a
sniffer installed on XP [I'm more experienced with unix]
I don't want to put any move effort into it. I'll just avoid the Manager
instead if its that hard to set up.
