       The <strong>Tomcat Host Manager</strong> application enables you to create,
       delete, and otherwise manage virtual hosts within Tomcat. This how-to guide
       is best accompanied by the following pieces of documentation:
     </p>
     <ul>
       <li>
         <a href="virtual-hosting-howto.html">Virtual Hosting How-To</a> for more
         information about virtual hosting.
       </li>
       <li>
         <a href="config/host.html">The Host Container</a> for more information
         about the underlying xml configuration of virtual hosts and description
         of attributes.
       </li>
       <li>
         <a href="host-manager-howto.html">Host Manager App -- Text Interface</a>
         for full description of the commands.
       </li>
     </ul>

     <p>
       The <strong>Tomcat Host Manager</strong> application is a part of
       Tomcat installation, by default available using the following
       context: <code>/host-manager</code>. You can use the host manager in the
       following ways:
     </p>

     <ul>
       <li>
         Utilizing the graphical user interface, accessible at:
         <code>{server}:{port}/host-manager/html</code>.
       </li>
       <li>
         Utilizing a set of minimal HTTP requests suitable for scripting.
         You can access this mode at:
         <code>{server}:{port}/host-manager/text</code>.
       </li>
     </ul>
     <p>
       Both ways enable you to add, remove, start, and stop virtual hosts.
       Changes are not persisted to the Tomcat configuraiton files. If you want
       your settings to be persistent, you must write them into the
       <i>server.xml</i> configuration file manually. For full documentation
       about the configuration, see <a href="config/host.html">The Host
       Container</a>. This document focuses on the HTML interface. For further
       information about the graphical interface, see
       <a href="host-manager-howto.html">Host Manager App -- Text Interface</a>.
     </p>
   </section>

   <section name="Configuring Manager Application Access">
     <p><em>The description below uses <code>$CATALINA_HOME</code> to refer the
       base Tomcat directory. It is the directory in which you installed
       Tomcat, for example <code>C:\tomcat8</code>, or
       <code>/usr/share/tomcat8</code>.</em></p>

     <p>
       The Host Manager application requires a user with one of the following
       roles:
     </p>

     <ul>
       <li>
         <code>admin-gui</code> - use this role for the graphical web interface.
       </li>
       <li>
         <code>admin-script</code> - use this role for the scripting web interface.
       </li>
     </ul>

     <p>
       To enable access to the HTML interface of the Host Manager application,
       either grant your Tomcat user the appropriate role, or create a new one with
       the correct role. For example, open
       <code>${CATALINA_BASE}/conf/tomcat-users.xml</code> and enter the following:
     </p>
     <source><![CDATA[<user username="test" password="chang3m3N#w" roles="admin-gui"/>]]></source>
     <p>
       No further settings is needed. When you now access
       <code>{server}:{port}/host-manager/html</code>,you are able to
       log in with the created credentials.
     </p>
     <p>
       Note that in case you retreive your users using the
       <code>DataSourceRealm</code>, <code>JDBCRealm</code>, or
       <code>JNDIRealm</code> mechanism, add the appropriate role in the database
       or the directory server respectively.
     </p>
   </section>

   <section name="Interface Description">
     <p>The interface is divided into six sections:</p>
     <ul>
       <li><strong>Message</strong> - Displays success and failure messages.</li>
       <li><strong>Host Manager</strong> - Provides basic Host Manager operations
       , like list and help.</li>
       <li><strong>Host name</strong> - Provides a list of virtual Host Names and
       enables you to operate them. </li>
       <li><strong>Add Virtual Host</strong> - Enables you to add a new Virtual
       Host.</li>
       <li><strong>Server Information</strong> - Information about the Tomcat
           server.</li>
     </ul>
   </section>

   <section name="Message">

   <p>
   Displays information about the success or failure of the last Host Manager
   command you performed:
   </p>
   <ul>
     <li>Success: <strong>OK</strong> is displayed
     and may be followed by a success message.</li>
     <li>Failure: <strong>FAIL</strong>
     is displayed followed by an error message.</li>
   </ul>
   <p>
     Note that the console of your Tomcat server may reveal more information
     about each command.
   </p>
   </section>

   <section name="Host Manager">

   <p>The Host Manager section enables you to:</p>
   <ul>
     <li><strong>List Virtual Hosts</strong> - Refresh a list of
     currently-configured virtual hosts.</li>

     <li><strong>Host Manager Help</strong> - A documentation link.</li>
     <li><strong>Server Status</strong> - A link to the <strong>Manager</strong>
     application. Note that you user must have sufficient permissions to access
     the application.</li>
   </ul>
   </section>

   <section name="Host Name">

   <p>The Host name section contains a list of currently-configured virtual host
     names. It enables you to:</p>
   <ul>
     <li>View the host names</li>
     <li>View the host name aliases</li>
     <li>Perform basic commands, that is <strong>start</strong>,
     <strong>stop</strong>, and <strong>remove</strong>.</li>
   </ul>
   </section>

   <section name="Add Virtual Host">

   <p>The Add Virtual Host section enables you to add a virtual host using a
   graphical interface. For a description of each property, see the
   <a href="host-manager-howto.html">Host Manager App -- Text Interface</a>
   documentation. Note that any configuration added via this interface is
   non-persistent.</p>
   </section>

   <section name="Server Information">
