The admin application is by default protected by security-constraints which are defined in its web.xml file. In the delivery version, the admin application required a user with the "admin" role.
You may remove the security constraints (not recommended except for development purposes) or create a user with the "admin" role. If the rest of your tomcat is still in its default configuration, you just have to add a line like the following to the file conf/tomcat-users.xml: <user username="admin" password="admin" role="admin"/> Alternatively, just add the admin role to the existing user named "tomcat": <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" role="tomcat,admin"/> After modifying tomcat-users.xml you have to restart Tomcat. Be sure not to use these default user/passwords on a server which is exposed to the internet. Georg Mario Henley Becerril Geldis wrote:
