username & password

[peter thesing <pe...@xs4all.nl>]

Dear Reader,

Recently i have installed jakarta tomcat 4.1 and i have some questions 
regarding logging in.
It is installed from the Cd's that came with SuSE 9.0. SuSE support in 
non-existing and therefore they are unable to answer my questions.
I have the following irritating issues;
What are the default  user name and password settings for both admin and 
manager?
How can i enter a custom user name and password to ensure security?
Does an upgrade to a higher version of Tomcat solve my login problem or 
do i need to modify certain files? If so which ones and how?
Although  i am able to see the page telling me that all is working  do i 
need to rewrite and recompile the software in order to use it?
FYI.
I am using Apache2 and  a 2.4 Linux kernel
After several dozens of tries this is my tomcat-users.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
 <role rolename="tomcat"/>
 <role rolename="role1"/>
 <role rolename="manager"/>
 <role rolename="admin"/>
 <user username="root" password="w8woord" 
roles="standard,tomcat,admin,manager"/>
 <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
 <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
 <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>
With kind regards
Yours desperate

Peter Thesing

I dont think 'standard' is a role that has been defined - so maybe for 
debugging purposes remove that and check - i just verified and adding a line 
to the default tomcat-users.xml file helps a lot!

For security reasons there isn't a default user name and password for 
either of these applications.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

It depends how Tomcat has been installed. Assuming the standard 
installation has been altered too much, you will need to edit 
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/tomcat-users.xml and then *restart Tomcat*. If you 
are still having trouble, post your server.xml as this will enable us to 
tell how non-standard the installation is.

With any text editor of your choosing.

Looks OK to me. Did you restart Tomcat?
