maven-tomcat plugin deploy on Remote server
Question
I want to deploy my application with maven on a remote server in order to have a continuous integration system :).
I've checked many issues on stackoverflow but couldn't make it work. First I'll show you my error, then the configuration I've made. Here si the message about the upload, it seems to be correct : Uploaded: http://SERVEUR_IP/manager/text/deploy?path=%2FGiveMeAShow (49631 KB at 51.5 KB/sec)
The error :
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.tomcat.maven:tomcat7-maven-plugin:2.2:deploy (default-cli) on project GiveMeAShow: Tomcat return http status error: 401, Reason Phrase: Unauthorized:

It seems pretty clear, it's an authorization problem. Let's have a look at my remote tomcat7 tomcat-users.xml file :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<role rolename="admin-gui"/>
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<role rolename="admin-script"/>
<user username="admin" password="password" roles="manager-gui,manager-script,admin-gui,admin-script" />
</tomcat-users>
I know I should not grant all the roles, but hey it doesn't work so I'm trying :).
I am able to log into app manager/admin page via HTTP in my browser with "admin" and "password". I think this is fine.
Here is my configuration in maven-tomcat-plugin :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<usernamee>admin</usernamee>
<password>password</password>
<url>http:SERVEUR_IP/manager/text</url>
<server>TomcatServer</server>
<path>/GiveMeAShow</path>
</configuration>
</plugin>
When I started to try I was not able to upload the war file. Adding this has permitted me to do so. But it seems the authorization problem comes later.
I've also put a settings.xml file in my remote server in ~/.m2/settings.xml :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<servers>
<server>
<id>TomcatServer</id>
<username>admin</username>
<password>password</password>
</server>
</servers>
The ~/.m2 folder only contains one subfolder and this file I created.
Note that I'm doing all this stuff using root user.
I don't know what to try now, thank's for your help !
EDIT
I did like @fatteddy said : - Created a deployment-only user. With only the role "manager-script" - Corrected my error in pom.xml, changing <usernamee> to </username>
I think creting a deployment-only user did the most of the job as I was testing on TRAVIS-CI at the same time with env variables in <username> tags written without errors.

actually this is an authentication issue. Try to define (for security reasons obviously) a separate deployment-user with the the manager-script (this an only this) role assigned. Don't forget to restart tomcat.
If this does not help change the path segment of the tomcat manager URL (combinations of manager/ , manager , manager/text , manager/text/ -> as far as i can remember there are/or have been issues with trailing slashes which have been fixed in later tomcat versions)

The simplest thing that I forgot to do is - to restart Tomcat after its settings changing. This phrase - "Don't forget to restart tomcat" helped a lot! :)
