Tomcat

This will walk through the installation and configuration of Tomcat on Ubuntu

• manager-script – allows access to the text interface and the status pages
• manager-jmx – allows access to the JMX proxy and the status pages
• manager-status – allows access to the status pages only

<role rolename="tomcat"/>
<role rolename="role1"/>
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat, manager-gui"/>

<user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
