Well if you are using Netbeans in Linux, then you should look for the tomcat-user.xml in

/home/Username/.netbeans/8.0/apache-tomcat-8.0.3.0_base/conf

(its called Catalina Base and is often hidden) instead of the Apache installation directory.

open tomcat-user.xml inside that folder, uncomment the user and roles and add/replace the following line.

restart the server . That's all
