Most configuration is done in Configuration.xml. This file may be copied from previous versions. Copy the Configuration.xml from the previous version into WEB-INF/ overriding the version already there. Once you start Management Console it will create a new Configuration.xml based on your old version, you must then copy the upgraded version into WEB-INF/ overriding your old configuration. Instruction should display when you access Management Console web interface.

As of version 8.2 , LDAP integration is no longer container managed. If you used LDAP for authentication in a previous version, you should remove the Realm definition in the ManagementConsole.xml inside Tomcat's conf/Catalina/localhost/. LDAP integration is now configured in WEB-INF/login.xml, as described in LDAP Integration
