Tomcat – Unable to access Manager app on Tomcat 7.0.39

The roles have changed with Apache Tomcat 6 as per the link to the documentation below. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Configuring_Manager_Application_Access

There are four roles defined by the manager application:

manager-gui - Allows access to the html interface
manager-script - Allows access to the plain text interface
manager-jmx - Allows access to the JMX proxy interface
manager-status - Allows access to the read-only status pages

For your problem, try this:

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

Login with user and password.

It works 100%.

The Multiselect module solved my problem. Here is an excerpt from its project page:

... defines a widget to be used with CCK fields. It allows the user to select multiple items in an easy way. It consists of two lists, one of all available items, the other of selected items. The user can select an item by moving it from the unselected list to the selected list. This module relies on the built-in jQuery features of Drupal and does not require any additional modules other than the CCK module set (Drupal 7 version has no dependencies).
