Tomcat的Manager显示403 Access Denied

管理tomcat的时候遇到了以下问题：　　1.刚开始需要用户名密码，不知道用户名和密码是什么，但是输入什么都不正确。　　解决办法：　　自己在tomcat-users.xml中按格式添加用户 conf文件夹里面　　默认是注释掉了的，这主要是考虑到服务器的安全，如果是本地测试，去掉以下这段注释，然后重启动服务器，再输入　　 <role rolename="tomcat"/>　　 <role rolename="role1"/>　　 <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>　　 <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>　　 <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>　　用户和密码都一目了然了。 　　2.进入manager界面之后，显示的是403 Access Denied。　　解决办法：　　在conf/tomcat-users.xml文件中看到这么一段话：　　NOTE: By default, no user is included in the "manager-gui" role required　　 to operate the "/manager/html" web application. If you wish to use this app,　　 you must define such a user - the username and password are arbitrary.　　也就是说，为了考虑安全，tomcat默认还是没有manager-gui的管理权限的，如果想要使用manager　　的话，需要自行加入管理权限（角色）。　　需要加一个这样的权限（角色）　　<role rolename="manager-gui"/>　　然后再加到需要的用户名中去　　<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,manager-gui"/>　　这样OK了。
