Hi Chris,

Thanks for that. Yes the forward for / is to our web app, I edited the file 
/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/manger.xml to forward on any request to our 
admin login page.

Thanks for the link.

Do you mean you see /your/ login page, or some other one? When you say "all 
requests for / are redirected", do you mean this is being done in your own 
webapp, or at a higher-level (Tomcat or maybe a web server out front)?

If the manager application is deployed, then you are likely to be able to 
access it. Tomcat deploys applications in 4 ways:

1. Any <Context> defined in server.xml
2. Any APP.war found in the webapps directory, if auto-deploy is true 3. Any 
APP.xml found in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname]/

My guess is that #3 is in play, here. You can find more information on webapp 
deployment in the introduction section of this page:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html

Hope that helps,
- -chris
