If you want the authentication to be updateable while tomcat is running, use a database realm. Docs should be available in server.xml.

I will try to explain,
When I enter the default web app ($CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp) by typing 127.0.0.1:8080 in the address-bar.
In the side bar I choose "Tomcat manager" under "Administration" and I am prompted for a username and a password.
Trying to login with "manager" or "admin" roles failes.
What can I do?

I have created a user with a role of "manager", and I login with his.
but yet, the server prompt me for a username and password.
The "manager" role is for the manager app; you must have an "admin" role to use the admin app.

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
