To access the tomcat manager from different machine you have to follow bellow steps:

1. Update conf/tomcat-users.xml file with user and some roles:

Here admin user is assigning roles="manager-gui,manager-script,manager-jmx,manager-status".

Here tomcat user and password is : admin

2. Update webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml file (Allowing IP address):

Default configuration:

Here in Valve it is allowing only local machine IP start with 127.\d+.\d+.\d+ .

2.a : Allow specefic IP:

Here you just replace |YOUR.IP.ADDRESS.HERE with your IP address

2.b : Allow all IP:

Here using allow=".*" you are allowing all IP.

Thanks :)
