2.1.1, change web interface password

Hi.

I am currently setting up a 2.1.1 UM to replace our current 2.0. I have deployed the virtual machine and is able to login to the console using root. But I cannot login to the web interface. According to the release notes, I should "change the Usage Meter webapp admin password in /usr/local/apache-tomcat-7.0.14/conf/tomcat-users.xml". But this file contains no users, only commented examples. What should I add to this file to be able to login?

This is the tomcat-users section of that file:

<tomcat-users>
<!--
  NOTE:  By default, no user is included in the "manager-gui" role required
  to operate the "/manager/html" web application.  If you wish to use this app,
  you must define such a user - the username and password are arbitrary.
-->
<!--
  NOTE:  The sample user and role entries below are wrapped in a comment
  and thus are ignored when reading this file. Do not forget to remove
  <!.. ..> that surrounds them.
-->
<!--
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
-->
</tomcat-users>

Hi. You are describing the 2.1 release notes, not the 2.1.1 release notes. There’s a copy of them here, if you don’t have them.
