I've set it to *:*, and visually, the form looks just
like the old version. However, when I enter the manager's
password, it still gives me an Error Access Denied.

Is there some configuration option that I've forgotten about?
I've looked at all the options and aside for the 'manager name',
which I've assumed to be cachemgr, and the password, I can't find
anything else.

Any help appreciated.
