Answer 1

Seems like you are missing
<Resource auth="Container"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
name="UserDatabase"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"/>
from your server.xml file under <GlobalNamingResources>. Did you remove it when you added your own resource?
The element below references a resource that didn't exist.
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.UserDatabaseRealm"
resourceName="UserDatabase"/>

Answer 2

I got this error after
1-modifying tomcat-user.xml to add the script role
2-this missing jar error was coming up in the logs: another stack post on this
3- I removed /conf from line pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml" and log was saying that it was trying to authenticate a locked user.
conclusion: Tomcat got corrupted
