Hello, Tomcat: 8.0.22 Java: jdk1.8.0_05
I recently restricted access to my Tomcat Manager App by: 1) Changing the name of the manager app. 2) Block access to the manager app by IP address. I did the following: A) Stopped Tomcat B) Simply renamed the manager app in $CATALINA_BASE/webapps by executing the linux command "mv manager somename". C) Adding a file to the path $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/[hostname] named "somename.xml" which contained the following context element to restrict access to the manager app: <Context path="/somename" privileged = "true"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="[myIP]"/> </Context> D) Start Tomcat This caused my web application to loose access to the database (as if the web applications Context element located in /webapps/myapp/META-INF/context.xml was overridden or something). Does anyone have any suggestions on what's going on? My host is called localhost. Thanks. adding a file to the path $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/[hostname] named
