403 Access Denied on Tomcat 8 Manager App without prompting for user/password

Question

I have set up tomcat 8 according to this, and I have the following tomcat-users.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tomcat-users xmlns="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml tomcat-users.xsd"
              version="1.0"> 
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-script"/>

  <user username="notadmin" password="not_real_pass" roles="manager-gui"/>
  <user username="cargo" password="not_real_pass" roles="manager-script"/>
<tomcat-users/>

When I try to access the Manager App, I get rejected with 403 without any prompt for username and password.

What did I miss in the config?

Edit1: Added full xml file.

This may be work.

Find the CATALINA_HOME/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml file and add the comment markers around the Valve.

<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" >

<!--
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" />
-->

</Context>
