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)? > I don't see any mapping for this URL in our server.xml, so where is > this being handled? 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 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAknKHhoACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD1WACfbbEPKwwo8eacJrXiDQ67gHig K8YAoJqC31NjYuqCopNiFJpAkRzpU4a5 =ISf+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org ********************************************************************** This message may contain confidential and privileged information.
