Thanks for your reply.

No there are no national characters that I am using in my user name and password. Furthermore I have another instance of tomcat running on another server which is behind a vpn and I used its manager to stop and start webapps, it is not like that I don't know how to set up the users. It is the instance of tomcat that is available on the internet gives me this trouble. And I have also tried out 'http://IP_ADDRESS/manager/html/' and I encounter the same problem.

Any other suggestions or ideas will be appreciated.

Admin application specifies SetCharacterEncodingFilter in its web.xml
and uses FORM authentication. The Manager one does not specify the
filter and uses BASIC authentication.

Also, does it work if you access it through the web page of
http://IP_ADDRESS/manager/html/
?

Hello everyone,

I have sent an email before regarding tomcat manager. And the issue was that
I could not use the same username and password to start/stop a webapp using
http://IP_ADDRESS/manager/stop?path=/My_WebAp . And it keeps popping up an
input box for username and password. I have the same username and password
for the admin webapp and it works. But this username and password does not
work for the manager webapp even though I have the same username and
password. Let me give you the content of my tomcat-users.xml which are the
following:
