Have you entered it EXACTLY as in your listing? You are aware of the meaning of "<!--" in XML?

[Jatin sachdev]

Did you enable the MemoryRealm in the Tomcat server.xml file?

tomcat-users.xml isn't used by Tomcat, it's used by the security realm plugin, and if the plugin isn't enabled - or some other security realm plugin is managing the app, the tomcat-users.xml file won't even be read, much less used.

And even if it is read, anything that's commented out is just a comment!

Thanks for your reply.

This older version of Tomcat is now working.
