Tomcat admin console

[Antonio Smoljo]

Instructions for configuring Tomcat console are terribly bad. Can someone explain simply and efficiently step by step how to enable the administrator console.
I have Tomcat v6.0

Thanks

Welcome to the JavaRanch, Antonio!

1. Ensure that the admin webapp is installed.

2. Configure the security system. This means uncommenting and/or customizing the security configuration in server.xml. Also, when using the default xml-configured Realm, ensure that an admin user is defined in tomcat-users.xml and that the appropriate roles have been defined.

The hard part line in determining the role names to define and grant, as they have recently changed and you have to read the docs closely to understand what they are.
