How do I set Tomcat Manager Application User Name and Password for NetBeans?

I'm trying to follow a tutorial to make an extremely basic Java web application in NetBeans.

When I try to run it, a dialogue box appears title "Authentication Required". Inside the dialogue box there the heading "Tomcat Manager Application" and fields for "User Name" and "Password."

Investigating this, I've come to understand that I should edit the file

\TOMCAT_HOME\conf\tomcat-users.xml

to include something like:

<user username="user" password="password" roles="standard,manager"/>

so I've done that, but it hasn't helped yet.

Can anyone provide some insight? I'm using Tomcat 6.0.20, NetBeans 6.7.1, and Windows Vista. I'm using jdk1.7.0, but Java hasn't really entered into this project yet.

Update the 'apache-tomcat-8.5.5\conf\tomcat-users.xml file. uncomment the roles and add/replace the following line.and restart server

tomcat-users.xml file

<role rolename="admin"/>
<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="standard,manager,admin,manager-gui,manager-script"/>

Use something like this to update your tomcat users.

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

Tomcat users file is located inside conf folder of tomcat installation. To find the path of catalina_base you can use the command: ps aux | grep catalina You can find one of the values -Dcatalina.base=/usr/local/Cellar/tomcat/9.0.37/libexec

Most Important:

Don't forget to remove the comment lines from the tomcat-users.xml just before the start of the roles. <!-- -->

You will find the tomcat-users.xml in \Users\<Name>\AppData\Roaming\Netbeans\. It exists at least twice on your machine, depending on the number of Tomcat installations you have.

Go to apache-tomcat\conf folder add these lines in

tomcat-users.xml file

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

and restart server
