I had installed Tomcat 5.0.19 with Apache2 on my SuSE 9.1 OS. I want to manage from tomcat administration tool. I had taken from /etc/tomcat/base/tomcat-users.xml file for login information. Login informations are "tomcat". It denied when I entered from http://localhost:8080/manager/html page. Error gives as "HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied".
I pondered over this. Open ${catalina.home}/conf/server.xml and modify as per http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Tomcat-Tutorial/#Enable-Root-Context Uncomment the MemoryRealm realm, to allow local passwords. A Realm is a "database" of usernames and passwords that identify valid users of a web application <!-- Comment out the old realm but leave here for now in case we need to go back quickly --> <!-- DP Uncommented --> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" /> or see http://localhost/tomcat-docs/realm-howto.html#JDBCRealm if you want to use mysql to hold passwords. Seems omitted from the documentation (directly), but I was puzzled by it.
