I'm having trouble accessing my Tomcat admin panel. I've configured everything correctly as far as I can see (adding an admin/manager user to tomcat-users.xml). I can log into manager/html and enter my credentials, then get presented with a 403 error. I've got the tomcat7-admin package installed on my system and tomcat is installed to the default location. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
tomcat-users.xml:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager"/>
<role rolename="admin"/>
<user name="admin" password="adminpass" roles="manager,admin"/>
</tomcat-users>
If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 x64.

I think the field is "username" not name. So it should look like the entry below:
<user username="admin" password="adminpass" roles="manager,admin" />
