I have a web project. I can run it, but it fails as it needs some admin setup. I can go to Runtime tab, and invoke "View Admin Console". A browser is opened with a request for a name and password. Now what?
correct component
I guess I made a progress - I found Server/Customizer and a dialog to change the password - however as far as I can tell changing the password does not work.
This is a really painful UI issue:( We have to fix for 6.0. TM -> 6.0. Please note that the username and password specified in the server customizer is used by the IDE for connecting to the server. You do not create a new Tomcat user by setting the username and password there. If you want to find out which username and password you should use for accessing the admin console application look into the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/tomcat-users.xml file. If you do not know where the catalina base dir is, look in the server customizer.
The same problem exists in the add tomcat server wizard, so the issue must be fixed there too.
The following changes have been made to fix this issue: * label explaining that the user should have "manager" role was added * by default the add server wizard creates the user if it does not exist * the server manager allows to view the password in plain text Checking in tomcat5/nbproject/project.xml; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/nbproject/project.xml,v <-- project.xml new revision: 1.27; previous revision: 1.26 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/customizer/Bundle.properties; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/customizer/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/customizer/CustomizerGeneral.form; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/customizer/CustomizerGeneral.form,v <-- CustomizerGeneral.form new revision: 1.5; previous revision: 1.4 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/customizer/CustomizerGeneral.java; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/customizer/CustomizerGeneral.java,v <-- CustomizerGeneral.java new revision: 1.7; previous revision: 1.6 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/Bundle.properties; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.11; previous revision: 1.10 done RCS file: /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/TomcatUsers.java,v done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/TomcatUsers.java; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/TomcatUsers.java,v <-- TomcatUsers.java initial revision: 1.1 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/AddInstanceIterator.java; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/AddInstanceIterator.java,v <-- AddInstanceIterator.java new revision: 1.9; previous revision: 1.8 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/Bundle.properties; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/Bundle.properties,v <-- Bundle.properties new revision: 1.5; previous revision: 1.4 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/InstallPanelVisual.form; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/InstallPanelVisual.form,v <-- InstallPanelVisual.form new revision: 1.5; previous revision: 1.4 done Checking in tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/InstallPanelVisual.java; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/wizard/InstallPanelVisual.java,v <-- InstallPanelVisual.java new revision: 1.11; previous revision: 1.10 done RCS file: /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/TomcatUsersTest.java,v done Checking in tomcat5/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/TomcatUsersTest.java; /cvs/tomcatint/tomcat5/test/unit/src/org/netbeans/modules/tomcat5/util/TomcatUsersTest.java,v <-- TomcatUsersTest.java initial revision: 1.1 done
