1.) Do you have users defined in the database?  Do you have the proper
roles assigned to those users?

2.) Do you see any errors listed in the log?  Either at startup or when you
attempt to login?

3.) For more info, you could try increasing the log level for the "org.
apache.catalina.realm" package.
