Dear All : We have a system works with Tomcat 5.5.25 on port 443

We used to use the application with the address https://servername
To manage the application we are using the URL :
https://servername/Admin

The problem is that opening the page https://servername/Admin
doesn't need any credentials !!!! When we asked the software house
- they said that we can secure it by only enable the localhost IP
or any other IP in the server.xml file !!!

I need to put a username/password technique on this Admin page -
what is your advise ??

Set it in tomcat-users.xml:

   1. <!--
   2.   NOTE:  By default, no user is included in the "manager" role
required
   3.   to operate the "/manager" web application.  If you wish to use
this app,
   4.   you must define such a user - the username and password are
arbitrary.
   5. -->
   6. <tomcat-users>
   7.   <user name="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat" />
   8.   <user name="role1"  password="tomcat" roles="role1"  />
   9.   <user name="both"   password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1" />
  10. </tomcat-users>
