I need to deploy Tomcat as a specific user for dspace. Should this be necessary?
How would I do it.

Hi Lavan,

Edit the file

/conf/tomcat-users.xml

and add a line like this

Save the file and restart Tomcat. Now you should be able to login as user wouter with password wouter. Unfortunately, there is no other way of configuring users and roles in Tomcat. As the Tomcat docs put it:

“Administering the information in the users file is the responsibility of your application. Tomcat does not provide any built-in capabilities to maintain users and roles.”

HTH, Wouter
