I am running Netbean 8.2 and am trying to study a web project from github.
It was stated that certain pages are constrained by the Tomcat Role, in order to view the Admin panel. So, what I did was to alter the Tomcat C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 8.0.27\conf\tomcat-user.xml And here's what I added: <tomcat-users> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <user password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,manager-gui" username="tomcat"/> <user password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" username="both"/> <user password="tomcat" roles="role1" username="role1"/> <user password="pass" roles="manager-script, administrator" username="me"/> </tomcat-users> Error message : Deployment error: Access to Tomcat server has not been authorized. Set the correct username and password with the "manager-script" role in the Tomcat customizer in the Server Manager. See the server log for details. I also tried below but it can't work also. <tomcat-users> <role rolename="tomcat"/> <role rolename="role1"/> <role rolename="administrator"/> <user password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,administrator" username="tomcat"/> <user password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" username="both"/> <user password="tomcat" roles="role1" username="role1"/> <user password="pass" roles="manager-script, administrator" username="me"/> </tomcat-users> Here's the constraint that is imposed at the web.xml under WEB/INF: -- You can restrict access to admin pages by uncommenting the code below--> <security-role> <description>administrator of the website</description> <role-name>administrator</role-name> </security-role> <security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Admin Login</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/admin_panel/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>administrator</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint> <login-config> <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method> <realm-name>Admin Login</realm-name> </login-config> --> Please let me know what I have done wrong. Tks.
