Set the correct username and password with the "manager-script" role in the Tomcat

Question

I know this has been asked many before. But I have already placed my user to role "manager-script".

I keep getting this when trying to deploy:

Deployment error: Access to Tomcat server has not been authorized. Set the correct username and password with the "manager-script" role in the Tomcat customizer in the Server Manager. See the server log for details.

My D:\DEV\apache-tomcat-7.0.47\conf\tomcat-users.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tomcat-users>
    <role rolename="manager-script"/>
    <user username="user" password="user" roles="manager-script"/>
</tomcat-users>

The server starts just fine without errors from netbeans but when I go to deploy, it keep asking me for the credentials that has "manager-script".

What I have tried:

1. Removing all other Apache installs/directories.
2. Rebooting.
3. Double, triple and quadruple checking the username and password (user@user).

What am I doing wrong?

Solution 1

Short answer - don't know. Your tomcat-users.xml looks right. Things to check:

1. Is the Manager app deployed?
2. Has the web.xml used by the Manager (where manager-script is used) been changed?
3. Use JMX to confirm that the users and roles are read correctly.
4. Has the Realm been changed in server.xml?

Solution 2

same problem.. fixéd it by adding:

<tomcat-users> <role rolename="manager-script"/> <user username="user" password="user" roles="manager-script"/> </tomcat-users>

to C:\Program files\apache-tomcat-7.0.47\conf\tomcat-users.xml

and remember to run netbeans as administrator.

Hello the solution is the below :

1. remove netbeans and tomcat
2. remove the cash directory c:\users{youruser}.netbeans\
3. remove the netbeans folder in : C:\Users{youruser}\AppData\Roaming\netbeans
4. re-install netbeans and tomcat
5. add your application i will works

Solution 4

I also got this error. I've solve with this. I've got this error becasue user I log on to computer is not have permission to get access C: and can't add user info in .\conf\tomcat-users.xml. So I've copy tomcat folders to D: and remove and add again tomcat server in my NetBeans and start server again.. Now I'm fine.

Solution 5

Go to C:\Users\ur folder\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.0.2\apache-tomcat-8.0.15.0_base\conf\tomcat-users.xmland delete the line

<user password="admin" roles="manager-script,admin" username="admin"/> `

within the tomcat users tab.

remove the apache tomcat server from netbeans and add it again setting catalina home to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache Tomcat 8.0.15\conf\Catalina\localhost\conf\Catalina\localhost and create a new user. Then it will be fixed

@MarkThomas Please enter your comment as an answer so I can give you credit. I went through your steps... Manager I think was deploying but I couldnt' authenticate. I decided to place back in the original web.xml and server.xml and try again. It worked. So something that was changed was messing me up. But your Step 2 or 4 fixed it, thanks!

Done as request. Thanks in advance.

the "user" in password and username i used the same credentials as in netBeans.. find it by opening services, right click on servers, open properties and you should find the credentials there.

I mean remove the line <user password="admin" roles="manager-script,admin" username="admin"/>
