I'm trying to start apache tomcat 8.5.24 with the information that appears here: link I installed java jdk 9.0.1, I did the variable for java jdk and modified the variable path. I also modified the tomcat-users.xml file to grant the permissions, but I can not access the localhost: 8080 page because it asks for my username and password. Does anyone know how to access this page?
You should validate that in the tomcat-users.xml file these lines have been uncommented:
<tomcat-users>
<!--
<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"/>
-->
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui"/>
</tomcat-users>
On the line:
<user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui"/>
You can enter the username and password you want and with these credentials you should be able to login to the Tomcat server admin.
