When I add a user to
[tomcat installation]/conf/tomcat-users.xml
by adding the following:
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui"/>
It works well enough, but after I stop/restart my server that little edit of mine just completely disappears and I have to redo it. Anybody know why this would happen?
Eclipse takes over the configuration of Tomcat, so try to edit tomcat-users from eclipse.
under the Servers folder in the package explorer
