Description massenz 2006-07-06 19:05:07 UTC 
It appears that the tomcat-users.xml file is not updated when the password for
the 'manager' role is changed in the server properties.

This *may* be due to the fact I was running NB from a different user account
than the one that was used to install NB originally.

Everything else runs fine and can create/design/run the Midnight Cookie tutorial
(http://www.netbeans.org/kb/50/tutorial-webapps.html)

Manually changing the user/pwd in the file fixes the issue.

The described behavior is not a bug, it is intentional.

The username and the password from the server manager dialog uses the IDE for
connecting to Tomcat and since the tomcat-users.xml file is not the only way
that Tomcat can use for authentication (it can use JDBC connection for
authentication for example) we do not even plan to change this.
