Tomcat-Maven 401 Error: Cannot invoke Tomcat manager

Question

Went through most of the errors shown in StackOverFlow and still couldn\'t solve it. I\'m trying to deploy a SpringMVC application. But, I just can\'t get it to work.

Your maven configuration has the username and password set as admin/password. In the Tomcat configuration they are set as admin/admin.

Switch your pom.xml to have <password>admin</password>.

Also, the roles need changing for the admin user as per the Tomcat docs. You'll want the manager-gui role to access the HTML manager and the manager-script role to access the text interface.
