maven tomcat7 plugin authentication fail, 403 Forbidden

I'm posting this after weeks of effort. I try and try because I felt guilty of posting this because there are thread similar to this. But still I'm getting slightly different error. So what I have is a very simple spring(no need to be spring of course bcz problem is with maven) application with maven. This is plugins section from my pom. ``` <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> <configuration> <url>http://localhost:8080/manager</url> <username>tomcat</username> <password>s3cret</password> <path>/Test</path> <port>8080</port> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3.2</version> <configuration> <source>1.6</source> <target>1.6</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> ``` Earlier I have problems with maven tomcat plugin not working with tomcat 7 etc etc but now with "tomcat7-maven-plugin" there are solved. I'm using '`http://localhost:8080/manager`' as the URL. For almost all threads about this maven tomcat compiler plugin are about build failure. But my build succeed(I run as tomcat7:deploy). Problem is tomcat is replying tomcatManager status code:403, ReasonPhrase:Forbidden along with the html that we see when we got a authentication failure on browser. The same code works fine under my Linux box. I try different scenarios of using server element in settings.xml which is inside .m2 and inside maven_home/conf etc. Still not working. As I figure out maven cannot authenticate tomcat. username and password is find and I can log in using GUI. So expecting a help here. p.s - my tomcat-users.xml fiel ``` <role rolename="manager-gui" /> <user username="tomcat" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/> ```
