title: I can't access Tomcat 7 manager when Tomcat is running through IntelliJ Idea Ultimate 12
body: <p>I am trying to access tomcat manager by using </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/manager
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I am always denied the entrance after I enter the password.
  I get the following message :</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>403 Access Denied</p>
    
    <p>You are not authorized to view this page.</p>
    
    <p>If you have already configured the Manager application to allow access
    and you have used your browsers back button, used a saved book-mark or
    similar then you may have triggered the cross-site request forgery
    (CSRF) protection that has been enabled for the HTML interface of the
    Manager application. You will need to reset this protection by
    returning to the main Manager page. Once you return to this page, you
    will be able to continue using the Manager appliction's HTML interface
    normally. If you continue to see this access denied message, check
    that you have the necessary permissions to access this application.</p>
    
    <p>If you have not changed any configuration files, please examine the
    file conf/tomcat-users.xml in your installation. That file must
    contain the credentials to let you use this webapp.</p>
    
    <p>For example, to add the manager-gui role to a user named tomcat with a
    password of s3cret, add the following to the config file listed above.</p>
    
    <p>  Note that for Tomcat 7
    onwards, the roles required to use the manager application were
    changed from the single manager role to the following four roles. You
    will need to assign the role(s) required for the functionality you
    wish to access.</p>
    
    <p>manager-gui - allows access to the HTML GUI and the status pages
    manager-script - allows access to the text interface and the status
    pages manager-jmx - allows access to the JMX proxy and the status
    pages manager-status - allows access to the status pages only The HTML
    interface is protected against CSRF but the text and JMX interfaces
    are not. To maintain the CSRF protection:</p>
    
    <p>Users with the manager-gui role should not be granted either the
    manager-script or manager-jmx roles. If the text or jmx interfaces are
    accessed through a browser (e.g. for testing since these interfaces
    are intended for tools not humans) then the browser must be closed
    afterwards to terminate the session. For more information - please see
    the Manager App HOW-TO.</p>

  <p>Here is my tomcat-users.xml :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;tomcat-users&gt; 
  &lt;role rolename="tomcat"/&gt;
    &lt;role rolename="role1"/&gt;
    &lt;role rolename="manager-gui"/&gt;
    &lt;user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="admin-gui,standard,manager-gui"/&gt;
    &lt;user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/&gt;
    &lt;user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/&gt;
    &lt;user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/&gt;
  &lt;/tomcat-users&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am running tomcat 7 through intellij idea 12 ultimate.
  I am using Mountain Lion operating system.
  Thank you.</p>
