Do you use the tomcat-users.xml als realm?

In this case, the solution is very simple:

"When Tomcat first starts up, it loads all defined users and their 
associated information from the users file. Changes to the data in this 
file will not be recognized until Tomcat is restarted."
-> http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/realm-howto.html

The administration tool restarts the server after you have made a change 
to the tomcat-users.xml file. Therefore all sessions and login 
information are lost.

However, you can circumvent the problem if you change to a different 
realm. If you use a MySQL database for example, the server doesn't need 
a restart after you have made changes to the roles and resp. or users, 
because it doesn't cache the information but always gets it in realtime 
for the database.


Best wishes
