tomcat-users.xml

This file contains a list of user names, roles, and passwords, all of which is explained in Chapter 2 and the "UserDatabaseRealm" section. It is a simple XML file; the root element is tomcat-users and the only allowed child elements are role and user. Each role element has one attribute called rolename, and each user element has three attributes: name, password, and roles. The default tomcat-users.xml file contains the XML listed in Example 7-3.

Example 7-3. Tomcat 6.0 distribution version of tomcat-users.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
