Server 8.10 + Tomcat = Can't login Tomcat Manager

[Dimas]

Hi,

I've installed a Ubuntu 8.10 Server with the Tomcat preconfigured package. I can access to http://remoteip:8080 and the "It works !" appears. In that page there are a link to the Tomcat Manger: http://remoteip:8080/manager/html and a login request appears. No user can login.

I've edited /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml to add a new role:
<role rolename="manager"/>
And a user with that role:
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager"/>
And another user to test:
<user username="test" password="test" roles="manager"/>
And restarted the server:
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 restart

But the problem is not solved, I can't access to Tomcat Manger

Any idea?

Someone can move this post to the Server threat?

nobody?

Try using one user instead and add others later on when it works. That makes it less complicated to test with.

I find it strange that you would only add the manager role to tomcat. Try this instead:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="test" password="test" roles="manager"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>

Also had the same situation ...

The default tomcat-users.xml file:
<tomcat-users>
<!--
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="dennis" password="tomcat" roles="manager"/>
-->
</tomcat-users>

cause of the problem: I was not able to remove "<!--" and "-->"
