I was wondering how to configure Request Filters to allow access to admin, manager, status-report, etc... I followed tomcat doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html#Request_Filters and I was able to restrict access by specifying webapp names, e.g.: [[[ <Context path="/manager" > <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127.0.0.1" deny=""/> </Context> ]]]
How can I deny access to default welcome/index page, changelog, release-notes etc.? I know just restricting access to default welcome/index page does not restrict access to manager or admin links on that page. Still, I would like to restrict access to welcome/index page in addition to admin/manager webapps. I have tried "/" and "/ROOT" and it didn't work. Any help or suggestions? Thanks, jM.
