Error 403 when try to deploy a maven project with tomcat-maven-plugin

I am trying deploy my project to tomcat7 using the Eclipse IDE, and I facing this error:

My pom.xml have this configuration:

  <build>
  <plugins>
            <plugin>
              <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
              <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
              <version>2.2</version>
              <configuration>
                  <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/html</url>
                  <server>TomcatServer</server>
                  <path>/example</path>
                  <username>klebermo</username>
                  <password>[password]</password>
              </configuration>
            </plugin>
    </plugins>
    </build>

My tomcat-users.xml is that:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<tomcat-users>
  <role rolename="manager"/>
  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <user username="klebermo" password="[password]" roles="admin,manager"/>
</tomcat-users>

Anyone can point me what I doing wrong?

The underlying cause for me was leaving out a designated "manager-script" role user in tomcat-users.xml

<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <!-- <user username="tomcatadmin" password="s3cret" roles="manager-gui"/> -->
  <user username="tcat-gui" password="asdf" roles="manager-gui"/>
    <user username="tcat-script" password="psswrd" roles="manager-script"/>

So in addition to designating a manager-script role you need to create an actual manager-script user and this is the user you plug into the Web-apps POM. My environment is IntelliJ and Maven project.

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.8.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.8</source>
                    <target>1.8</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
                <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
                <configuration>
                    <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
                    <server>TomcatServer</server>
                    <username>tcat-script</username>
                    <password>psswrd</password>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

Good luck!

I changed the Server location configuration of the tomcat within the eclipse configuration panel. In this way eclipse uses directly the configuration of your tomcat installation instead of the workspace metadata. After conducting all steps according to this question and similar questions and answers this step finally solved the problem for me. Problem prerequesites: Eclipse Luna, Maven 3.1, Dynamic-Web-Project, maven-war-plugin, tomcat 7

Following picture shows the appropriate configuration which worked for me and solved the same problem of OP.

the documentation mentions that the remote deployment commands should be sent to url manager/text, see here in Deploy A New Application Remotely.

by changing the configuration to that url instead, it should work:

<configuration>
    <url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
    ...
</configuration>

Also Tomcat has several pre-defined roles for doing certain tasks, try adding role manager-script:

<tomcat-users>
  <user username="tomcat" password="[password]" 
       roles="admin,manager,manager-script"/>
</tomcat-users>
