Hi Poorna, you must have access to the manager-application. Otherwise you could not deploy/restart your webapp. Don't you?
If you have access to the manager-webapp, you can deploy a context.xml-file along with your realm. Please see http://yourserver:8080/manager/html/ ->Install->XML config URL You have to write a file like this: (myapp.xml) <Context displayName="my fine app" path="/my" docBase="d:/workspace/myapp" cookies="true" debug="0" reloadable="false" swallowOutput="true" cachingAllowed="true" useNaming="true"> <Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.MemoryRealm" debug="1" pathname="d:/private/tomcat-users.xml" /> </Context> Please try it regards, Reinhard Am Dienstag, 21.
