tomcat7-maven-plugin tomcatManager status code:403, ReasonPhrase:Forbbiden

Question

I am trying to do mvn clean package tomcat7:deploy but always I get this error: tomcatManager status code:403, ReasonPhrase:Forbbiden

My config

Answer 1

I had same problem. But I found following solution of this problem:

pom.xml

    org.apache.tomcat.maven
    tomcat7-maven-plugin
    2.0
    
      http://localhost:8080/manager/text
      localhost
      /${project.build.finalName}
    

~/.m2/settings.xml

   localhost
   admin
   s3cret

tomcat-users.xml

After changing tomcat-users.xml do not forget to restart the server. Also do not assign the manager-gui role with the manager-script to the same user.
