tomcat7-maven-plugin tomcatManager status code:403, ReasonPhrase:Forbbiden

Question

I am trying to do mvn clean package tomcat7:deploy but always I get this error: tomcatManager status code:403, ReasonPhrase:Forbbiden

My config

Answer 1

There is some misunderstanding about role name and the last part of the URL:

Originally in tomcat-usres.xml there was only "tomcat" user (role tomcat), user "both" (tomcat + role1) but no admin role. It seems that the last part of the URL equals to role name in some aspect ...

This worked for me (otherwise I always got 403 even provided correct user + password):
