RE: Tomcat - username/password

[Steve Kelem <s_...@pacbell.net>]

I've followed this thread for a while.
I have the same problem.

I have read at least some of TFM, specifically, Configuring Manager 
Application Access

I have added a user with manager role.
I have restarted the tomcat server.
When I try to access http://localhost:8080/manager/html,
I get:


  HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied

------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message Access to the requested resource has been denied

description Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested 
resource has been denied) has been forbidden.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


      Apache Tomcat/5.0.7

Prior to setting up a user with manager role, I did try to access this 
url and a password challenge was issued.
It didn't work, and ever since I have not been challenged again for 
username/password.
When I try to access admin/html, the username/password challenge is 
presented.
Yes, I do log out of admin when I'm done and want to try to access 
manager/html.
I do not have more than one java process running in the Task Manager 
(windows 2k), and that java process
does disappear when I stop the tomcat service.  The java task reappears 
when I restart the tomcat service.
