Chapter 8.1 Configuring Manager Application Access
Upon use of the Manager application, authenticate yourself with a username, password, and manager as a role. Only users associated with manager accounts can access the Manager web application.
Creation of Manager accounts depends on three kinds of Realm implementation:
- MemoryRealm – By default, Tomcat 6 includes an XML-format file stored at
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml. The XML file contains an XMLfor each individual user that defines the username, password, and roles. Add the manager role.
Example:
<user name="craigmcc" password="secret" roles="standard, manager"/>- JDBC Realm – Access user and role information stored in the database through JDBC. You may add the manager role to existing users and create new manager accounts.
- JNDI Realm – Access user and role information stored in a directory server through LDAP. You may add the manager role to existing users and create new manager accounts.
