tomcat8 is configured with manager and still reports 403

Modified conf/tomcat-users.xml before

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>

<user username="user" password="password" roles="manager-gui"/>

But still can't access the management page.

 

Solution:

The new conf/Catalina/localhost/manager.xml content is as follows:

<Context privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
         docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager">
    <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="^.*$" />
</Context>
