Thank you so much ! Issue resolved. So why it was not asking for username and password before ?? Also the standard documentation doesn't talk about removing that tag from context.xml. One last thing though, I can access "Server Status" and "Manager app" but not "Host Manager" ? I do have admin-gui role defined so not sure why I cannot access it. Cheers

If I add comments like the one I have bold, I am unable to access tomcat manager.So I have to uncomment it. After uncomment. It says access denied... Take just this out of context.xml and restart Tomcat and your browser. *<Valve className="org.apache.**catalina.valves.**RemoteAddrValve" allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::**1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" />* Actually I don't know if restarting is necessary on either, but it can't hurt.
