Mark, Thanks very much. Once i commented the filter it worked. Here is what i have on my address filter. though it was ridiculous that the same setting worked well on a windows machine this did not work on solaris machine.
<Context docBase="/apps/opt/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-5.5.9/server/webapps/admin" pr ivileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false"> <!-- Uncomment this Valve to limit access to the Admin app to localhost for obvious security reasons. Allow may be a comma-separated list of hosts (or even regular expressions). <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127.0.0.1,192.168.0.10"/>--> </Context> Thanks, Srinivas Jonnalagadda -----Original Message----- >From: Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> >Sent: Feb 10, 2009 7:19 AM >To: Tomcat Users List <users@tomcat.apache.org> >Subject: Re: tomcat admin console problem > >Srinivas Jonnalagadda wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am getting the "Access to the specified resource () has been forbidden" >> when i try to access as http://192.168.0.10:8080/admin/. the admin app is >> deployed on a solaris machine with tomcat 5.5.9 communicationg with Apache >> HTTP Server and using mod_jk connector.
