  <user username="guiadmin" password="guiadmin" roles="admin-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <user username="guimanager" password="guimanager" roles="manager-gui"/>

</tomcat-users>

  • Which user did you try? The user `guiadmin` has a role that isn't recognized by the `manager`. I would have expected `guimanager` to work, since it has the role `manager-gui` which is recognized. Are you even being asked for a username and password? – Christopher Schultz Jan 26 '17 at 14:59
  • I forgot to add context.xml, I added the same and then the signin screen appeared. Thanks for the revert. – Kapil Tulsan Jan 28 '17 at 13:19
  • For me I had to allow remote access to the manager webapp: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36703856/access-tomcat-manager-app-from-different-host – Sal Oct 30 '17 at 19:30

your User configuration file seems alright to me.

this problem can occur when your tomcat server deploy path isn't 'webapps' where your Tomcat Manager folder resides by default. If this is the case, setting your server deploy path to 'webapps' and redeploying your application will solve the issue.

I will suggest you uncomment the text written in the and tag inside the tag.

As you uncomment the username and password, then it will be accessed easily by Tomcat Manager Application.
