Hi,
I'm a newbie with an inherited apache-tomcat-6.0.33 installation.
The host server is a 64 bit Centos 5 (2.6.18-274.3.1.el5) install.
I'm having trouble accessing the tomcat manager-gui from an
internet-based browser access. As near as I can determine this was
a standard/default installation of tomcat. I have root access but
lack the knowledge of how to use it to advantage here.
I've added the following lines:
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="Myadmin" password="HereOmitted" roles="standard,manager-gui"
/>
between the
<tomcat-users> and </tomcat-users> lines of the
appBase/conf/tomcat-user.xml
file.
When attempting to access the manager on my server from the web as:
http://xx.yy.co:8080/manager/list (where xx and yy are legitimate
parts of my server's domain)
I am prompted with a login popup requesting user name and password under the
label of:
A username and password are being requested by http://xx.yy.co:8080.
The site says: "Tomcat Manager Application"
I (carefully) enter the username (Myadmin in my example above) and password
(HereOmitted in my example above) but am repeatedly rejected.
I find nothing in the tomcat 6.0 manager-gui documentation to indicate
that I need to restart tomcat to get the new username/password configuration
info to take effect. Since this is a production system, a restart can only
be accomplished at certain times, if that is needed.
I do not see nor do I know if there should be evidence of a tomcat
manager thread/process.
So, I'm looking for help on whatever I've missed in the config and/or
initial startup of the manager-gui.
Thanks.
regards,
--
