OK I have it working, but I'm not sure what I did that did it.

First, I attempted to see if it was a permissions issue. Since my instructions configured tomcat to run under a specific account, I gave that account (and group) blanket ownership of the files in the install directory (and below).This did not solve the problem. A coworker suggested replacing my tomcat-users.xml with the one in the distribution archive, which I did. I then added the manager-gui role to the tomcat user as follows:And at this point I can login as the user "tomcat". With it operational now, I'm a little timid about tearing it all back down and trying to reproduce my success. Hopefully this will help someone in the future, though.

Not sure if it is related, but the security listener IS commented out:

Hi Tim. It's been a warm welcome from all.

I looked at the server.xml, and it appears the UserDatabaseRealm was already enabled.My XML editor says that block is not commented out, so this doesn't appear to be the problem?

Thank you!

I'm sure this comes up too often, and I've found other threads but the solutions given have not helped me.

I've installed Tomcat 7 on OSX Mountain Lion according to the instructions at:

I'm using the following tomcat-users.xml:The login prompt is repeated over-and-over, until canceled and a 401 Unauthorized is returned.

Thank you for your assistance,
