Create Users and Roles in Tomcat Follow

The following article will walk you through the steps on how to add users in Tomcat. 

There are 4 roles types in AuraPlayer ServiceManager:

• Administrator - allows to fully administer data
  • Example: <user username="user1" password="user1" roles="webuser"/> 
• Manager - Allows managing their own data only
  • Example: <user username="user2" password="user2" roles="manager"/>
• Developer - Members can create/access all resources, cannot manage server configuration.
  • Example: <user username="user3" password="user3" roles="developer"/>
• Operator - Allows having limited accessibility
  • Example: <user username="user4" password="user4" roles="operator"/>

Below are the steps to add users in Tomcat:

• Open with your preferred editor the file $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat-users.xml . In most cases, it is located in /usr/local/jakarta/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31/cinf/tomcat-users.xml
• Append lines as in the example into that file within the tomcat-users node as in the following example:

<tomcat-users>

        <role rolename="webuser">

        <role rolename="manager">

        <role rolename="developer">

        <role rolename="operator">

        <user username="user1" password="user1" roles="webuser"/>

        <user username="user2" password="user2" roles="manager"/>

       <user username="user3" password="user3" roles="developer"/>

        <user username="user4" password="user4" roles="operator"/>

• Restart tomcat

You have now added the users in Tomcat successfully!
