  <role rolename="admin"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="globus" password="gt4p0p8" roles="admin,manager"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
