# Perform Tomcat-specific connection tasks

After your repository has been configured, you must configure the web application servers to connect to the Pentaho Repository. In this step, you will make JDBC and JNDI connections to the Hibernate, Jackrabbit, and Quartz components.

**Note:** By default, the Pentaho Server software is configured to be deployed and run on the Tomcat server. As such, connections have already been specified and the Tomcat `context.xml` file must be modified ONLY if you have changed the default ports or passwords.

The next couple of sections guide you through the process of working with the JDBC drivers and connection information for Tomcat.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/10.2-install/pentaho-installation-overview-cp/archive-installation/archive-installation-process/use-mysql-or-mariadb-as-your-repository-database-archive-installation/perform-tomcat-specific-connection-tasks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
