Cant access apache tomcat 7.0.90 console through browser
I have installed apache tomcat 7.0.90 on my windows 8 64bit system. This is how I have configured my tomcat-users.xml -
I am not able to access tomcat console thru browser. It asks for login but does not login successfully using "admin". It keeps giving login box and when I click cancel button it shows "unauthorized" message. What could be the problem?
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

strongly recommended that you do NOT use one of the users in the commented out

I can not access it at all with any user/password.
If you uncomment the following lines:
and give a password "tomcat" to user "tomcat", can you access it with tomcat/tomcat?
<!--
<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="<must-be-changed>" roles="tomcat"/>
<user username="both" password="<must-be-changed>" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
<user username="role1" password="<must-be-changed>" roles="role1"/>
-->
and give a password "tomcat" to user "tomcat", can you access it with tomcat/tomcat?
