You should have a similar entry to the following in conf\tomcat-users.xml.
<user username="manager" password="" roles="manager"/>
This declares the user manager has access to manager application
without any password.
For above configuration to work you need to configure Tomcat to
use the tomcat-users.xml to read user authentication information.
Tomcat is shipped configured to use this setup. If somebody has
changed it to use database or any other authentication realm you will
have to add the manager username,password and role in that realm.
You can check which configuration Tomcat is using by looking for
the <Realm/> element in server.xml. Mine is
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
debug="0" resourceName="UserDatabase"/>
This uses the UserDatabaseRealm which reads the file conf\tomcat-users.xml
Hope this helps
