HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error in Tomcat 10

I recently created an API using Spring Boot which I deployed to Tomcat. For now, I have a single endpoint that I am trying to hit using Postman. I have modified the server's web.xml and tomcat-users.xml files according to this article.

web.xml

<init-param>
    <param-name>readonly</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
...
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>MyApp</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
        <http-method>PUT</http-method>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
        <role-name>admin</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
    <auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
    <realm-name>MyApp</realm-name>
</login-config>
<security-role>
    <description>Role for restricted resources</description>
    <role-name>admin</role-name>
</security-role>

tomcat-users.xml

<user name="admin" password="admin" roles="admin" />

I am then using the same credentials using basic authentication in Postman (user: admin, password: admin). But I still get this HTTP 403 error. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is the name of the app the name of the JAR or is it the name of the app inside the POM?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
