Catalina Base | Specifies the Tomcat base directory.
Typically, a base directory is placed under a user's directory. If you associate a base directory with the server, the base directory must have the following subdirectories.
If the base directory is empty, the IDE creates the subdirectories by copying them from Tomcat's home directory. |

The user must be a Tomcat user who has a manager role. If the username does not exist, you can select the box to create it. |
