I have a bsic tomacat 8.5 fresh setup, I went through documentaion as well as some threads here such as How to access tomcat manager gui from another machine? and others and all confirm the same solution which is not working on my fedora box (of course every time I update a file I restart tomcat) I have added necessary details in tomcat users file as follows
also updated context.xml to accept any IP and removed the CRSF as follows but still getting. Thanks for your help access denied
