One fix for iManager 503 error
I was getting a 503 error on iManager in the web browser, I checked the
/var/opt/novell/tomcat5/logs/catalina.out file and it had this error:

This was caused by an 0 byte size /var/opt/novell/tomcat5/conf/tomcat-users.xml file.
I used this command to rename the file: mv tomcat-users.xml tomcat-users.xml-backup
Then restarted tomcat: rcnovell-tomcat5 restart
It created a new tomcat-users.xml file and iManager is working again.
Your issue may be different but I couldn't find much on this error so I thought I'd share what worked for me.
