Answer 2

Netbeans Problem: For apache Tomcat server Authentication required dialog box requesting user name and password

This dialog box appear If a user role and his credentials are not set or is incorrect for Tomcat startup via NetBeans IDE,

OR when user/pass set in IDE is not matches with user/pass in "canf/tomcat-user.xml" file

1..Need to check user name and password set in IDE tools-->server

2..Check \CATALINA_BASE\conf\tomcat-users.xml. whether user and his role is defined or not. If not add these lines

<user username="ide" password="EiWnNlBG" roles="manager-script,admin"/>
</tomcat-users>

3.. set the same user/pass in IDE tools->server

1. restart your server to get effect of changes

Answer 4

When you're launching tomcat server from netbeans IDE you need to check in menu "tools->servers" on connection tab for tomcat server - there is catalina base directory. And you need to include something like:

 <role rolename="manager"/>
  <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager"/>

at file

\CATALINA_BASE\conf\tomcat-users.xml

or use username automatically generated by IDE with description already placed in this file or on connection tab

For Manager Apps : GUI access:

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/>

Answer 5

Follow my steps and be happy:

1.- When you are configuring Netbeans for the first time, they will ask you for a "user" and "pass" for the Catalina-Server.

2.- Type whatever "user" and "pass" . This will modify your "tomcat-users.xml" and will add:

user password="MYPASS" roles="manager-script,admin,tomcat" username="MYUSER"

3.- To use this "user" just restart your TOMCAT WEB SERVER and NETBEANS.
