Host Manager is a web application inside of Tomcat that creates/removes Virtual Hosts within Tomcat.
A Virtual Host allows you to define multiple hostnames on a single server, so you can use the same server to handles requests to, for example,
ren.myserver.com and stimpy.myserver.com.
Unfortunately documentation on the GUI side of the Host Manager doesn't appear to exist, but documentation on configuring the virtual hosts manually in
context.xml is here:
The full explanation of the
Host parameters you can find here:
Now, how to setup tomcat for project management.
· Make sure your tomcat must contain below apps in it ‘webapps’ directory
o ROOT, manager, host-manager, docs, examples

· Now, first edit the REALM in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml. Add the attribute of digest="HASH_TYPE" The values for HASH_TYPE can be sha, md5 or md2.
- Execute the following to generate the HASH of the password:
$CATALINE_HOME/bin/digest.sh -a HASH_TYPE PASSWORD

- Replace the password for the user in question in the $CATALINA_HOME/conf/tomcat_users.xml
- Restart the Tomcat
- Now, you can access the tomcat management console from browser

- Go to Manager App, Tomcat will ask the username and password which we added in tomcat-user.xml file
