My answer is tested on Windows 7 with installation of NetBeans IDE 6 9 1 which has bundled Tomcat version 6 0 26   The instruction may work with other tomcat versions according to my opinion   If you are starting the Apache Tomcat server from the Servers panel in NetBeans IDE then you shall know that the Catalina base and config files used by NetBeans IDE to start the Tomcat server are kept at a different location   Steps to know the catalina base directory for your installation    Right click on the Apache Tomcat node in Servers panel and choose properties option in the context menu   This will open a dialog box named Servers  Check the directory name of the field Catalina Base  this is that directory where the current conf tomcat-users xml is located and which you want to open and read   In my case it is C  Users Tushar Joshi  netbeans 6 9 apache-tomcat-6 0 26 base   Open this directory in My Computer and go to the conf directory where you will find the actual tomcat-users xml file used by NetBeans IDE   NetBeans IDE comes configured with one default password with username  ide  and some random password  you may change this username and password if you want or use it for your login also This dialog box also have username and password field which are populated with these default username and password and NetBeans IDE also offers you to open the manager application by right clicking on the manager node under the Apache Tomcat node in Servers panel The only problem with the NetBeans IDE is it tries to open the URL http   localhost 8084 manager  which shall be http   localhost 8084 manager html now

Platform  NetBeans 7 3  Apache Tomcat 7 0 34 re  Tomcat Manager  I spent 3 days tracking this down because I thought I had a bad install   On Windows and Linux  NetBeans uses a separate file location for CATALINA BASE    http   wiki netbeans org FaqInstallationDefaultTomcatPassword  So you can modify the tomcat user xml under CATALINA HOME  until your face turns blue  to no effect   It appears that the IDE only requires  manager-script admin roles under CATALINA BASE    When I tried to add a user to the manager-gui role  to the correct tomcat user xml file   required for access to the Tomcat Manager  Tomcat stopped presenting the login dialog and went directly to the 401 access denied splash page   It appears that the NetBeans package uses a locked-down version of TomCat   I hope this saves everyone some time

If your apache tomcat asking for password then just follow these steps  go to the home directory of apache then go to webapps folder  open the META-INF inside that you will find an xml file named context xml--open it in edit mode  and           REMOVE THE COMMENT FROM the   VALVE  tag   After that you dont need any user name and password

Well  you need to look at the answers above  but you ll find that the manager app requires you to have a user with the role  manager   I believe  so you ll probably want to add the following to your tomcat-users xml file    lt role rolename  manager   gt   lt user username  youruser  password  yourpass  roles  manager   gt    This might seem simplistic  but it s just a simple implementation that you can extend   replace with other authentication mechanisms
