Configure Tomcat Web Management Interface

We already see, how to install tomcat in ubuntu in my previous blog(http://kmlsarwar.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-install-apache-tomcat-on-ubuntu.html)

In order to use the manager webapp installed, we must add a login to our Tomcat server. We will do this by editing the tomcat-users.xml file:

sudo nano /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml 
 
This file is filled with comments which describe how to configure the file. You may want to delete all the comments between the following two lines, or you may leave them if you want to reference the examples:

<tomcat-users> </tomcat-users> 

You will want to add a user who can access the manager-gui and admin-gui (the management interface that we installed in Step Three). You can do so by defining a user similar to the example below. Be sure to change the password and username if you wish:

<tomcat-users>
    <user username="admin" password="password" roles="manager-gui,admin-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>

Save and quit the tomcat-users.xml file. To put our changes into effect, restart the Tomcat service:

sudo service tomcat7 restart
 
Let's take a look at the Web Application Manager, accessible via the link
