The username you provided is not allowed to use the text-based Tomcat Manager (error 403) when deploying on remote Tomcat8 using Jenkins
This seems to be a Jenkins bug but I got around the problem by setting up following configuration in Tomcat:
Edit the file /webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml:
Previous:
<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true"> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" /></Context>Change this file to comment the Value:
<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true"> <!-- <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" /> --></Context>This resolved the issue. Hope this helps someone :)
I was facing the same issue while deploying artifact to tomcat with jenkins via container plugin,Solution:- i have added manager-script and manager-gui in the roles of the user and provide the full access to webapps/* directory. It helps me to deploy the artifact successfully and able to view it with manager-app.
My OS : Debain 10
I solved this by editing file /opt/tomcat/conf/tomcat-users.xml and added manager-script role
<role rolename="admin-gui,manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status,admin-gui"/> <user username="admin" password="password" roles="admin-gui,manager-gui,manager-script"/>
