The first time I start a Tomcat instance after opening netbeans, I get this annoying popup:

This PR fixes the issue by passing the correct credentials when testing the connection to the Tomcat manager.

NB: the issue happens only when the Tomcat Server header is empty, so by default on Tomcat 8.5+

fixes #8646
