Apache Tomcat 9 unable to access manager webapp
Please change the allow attribute value in the context.xml file, present in webapps/manager/META-INF folder.
Old configuration
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" />
change to new Configuration
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
allow="\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+" />
This will allow access to manager remotely from all IP addresses for login. Further you won't get 403 access denied page
I wanto to share the solution I found here not in the marked answer but in the fade's answer.
Commenting the Valve attribute in CATALINA_HOME/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml and restarting Tomcat solve the problem and I can now assess the web manager
