403 Error

["Mann, Bradley" <bm...@harris.com>]

I have recently installed Tomcat, and am having difficulty accessing the
Manager web application. I have added the role "manager" to the
tomcat-users.xml file under the user "both" but when I put in these
credentials at the password challenge, I am shown an http 403 error
(access denied). Any ideas why I may be receiving this error?

Thanks,

so i have to correct myself:

"I had similar symptoms [...] as i noticed that my non-default install script 
configured the manager app to insist on encripted passwords..."

Sorry for any inconvenience caused by my misleading post...

This is not the case by default.

hi

I had the same problem and i was near to a nervous breakdown as I noticed that 
encription was requested and tomcat expected encripted passwords

Here you can read about a command linetool to encrypt it:
