401 Unauthorized error while logging in Manager-Ap

Question

I am trying to log in to the Manager App in Tomcat 7.0.22 for Mac OS X 10.7. Here is the error I am getting: http://f.cl.ly/items/421q1K3f1i0X1H1M181v/so.tiff

401 Unauthorized

You are not authorized to view this page. If you have not changed any configuration files, please examine the file conf/tomcat-users.xml in your installation. That file must contain the credentials to let you use this webapp.

For example, to add the manager-gui role to a user named tomcat with a password of s3cret, add the following to the config file listed above.

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/>

I have added this in my tomcat-users.xml, still its not taking the same username/password.

<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user name="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="standard,manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>

Answer 1

Shutdown tomcat

paste below comments complete content into tomcat-users.xml and save

start tomcat

Now Build it should work, i did for windows OS with Jenkins and git deployment via tomcat7

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<tomcat-users> <role rolename="manager-gui"/> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <role rolename="manager-jmx"/> <role rolename="manager-status"/> <role rolename="admin-gui"/> <role rolename="admin-script"/> <user roles="manager-gui, manager-script, manager-jmx, manager-status, admin-gui, admin-script" password="admin" username="admin"/> </tomcat-users>
