HTTP Status 403

HTTP Status 403 -- Access to the requested resource has been denied

I am new to JSP. I followed the book (Beginning Java Server Page) example to delpoy chapter examples to Tomcat container.

When I typed:
http://localhost:8080/manager/html, it prompts me to enter user name and password. After entering user name and passwd, I got the above message.

When I checked /tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml, both user name and password are matched as I typed. How to solve this error?

Thanks in advance.

Does the user have the manager role?

I'm not sure. I used tomcat/tomcat for user name and password.

BTW, How to set up manager role?

The following is the tomcat-users.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <tomcat-users>
<role rolename="tomcat" />
<role rolename="role1" />
<role rolename="manager" />
<role rolename="admin" />
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat" />
<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1" />
<user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />
</tomcat-users>

Would you publish the web.xml file? We need to look at how you mapped security in your we app...

There is no user with the role of manager in your user file.

Add a user with role="manager" to the file and restart Tomcat.

You can always go to the Tomcat site to find out how to do these things

Thanks. It works now.
