admin context

Hi,
How to access the admin context in tomcat. It asks for a user name and password. Where do i set them?? In server.xml i made trusted="true" in admin context as given in the comments but could not set the password....

Hi,
I tried with tomcat-users.xml in conf dir. But tough luck. I tried with all the user entries in that file. I even made an entry myself, but it wont work. I am missing something.....Anybody tried accessing the admin page???
Regards,
shankar

You need to assign the management role to one of those users, or better yet, make a new user.

<tomcat-users>
  <user name="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat" />
  <user name="role1"  password="tomcat" roles="role1"  />
  <user name="both"   password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />
  <user name="PointHair" password="TQI" roles="manager" />
</tomcat-users>
