Remediation - Manual Procedure
From the Tomcat server as a privileged user:
sudo cd $CATALINA_BASE/webapps/manager/WEB-INF/jsp/
Use a file editor like nano or vi and edit the 401, 402, and 403 jsp files. Remove account information and make the files reflect generic error information that assists users but does not provide sample data to users.
