Username and Password can be used to keep your DBSync Cloud Replication more secured. The below steps should be followed to setup username and password.

• Go to Install Folder > conf > tomcat-users.xml

• tomcat-users.xml should be edited by including the below code at the end just before </tomcat-users>

<role rolename="manager"/>
   <role rolename="tomcat"/>
   <role rolename="admin"/>
   <role rolename="role1"/>
   <role rolename="dbsync"/>
   <user username="manager" password="manager" roles="manager"/>
   <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
   <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
   <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
   <user username="adminuser" password="adminpassword" roles="admin"/>
   <user username="repl" password="avankia1" roles="dbsync"/>
