I have a new installation of tomcat on centos. My $CATALINA_HOME is
/usr/share/tomcat5 and tomcat is running.
http://localhost:8080 brings up the tomcat page & one of the option is
"Administration". I would like to use this web interface and even give some
of the test webapp users ability to restart tomcat.
No webapp will give you that last option.
A webapp may allow one to stop Tomcat, but then you'd have a problem.
According to the home page, users are defined in
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml. Currently my file has the following
content
more tomcat-users.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
</tomcat-users>
I tried logging to the administration web interface with tomcat/tomcat but
it did not work. Can anyone guide to configure this file? I am very new to
tomcat.
If you view CATALINA_HOME/server/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/web.xml, at the
end you will see that it requires a user with the role "manager".
So above add :
<role rolename="manager"/>
and modify
<user username="tomcat" password="*******" roles="tomcat,manager"/>
(or add another user with that role)
That will allow you to access the Manager application.
For the "Admin" application however, I'm not sure, but it must be
something similar.
I seem to remember however that the Admin application is no longer
developed or supported or both. But I cannot immediately find a
reference to it on the Tomcat site.
