'Intellij Idea remote tomcat server config

I cannot make a remote tomcat server config with remote deploy work with Intellij Idea.

I also couldn't find any tutorial about deploying a webapp on a remote server.

What I have tried so far is to follow these pages: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/run-debug-configuration-tomcat-server.html and https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/creating-a-remote-server-configuration.html for the remote tomcat server configuration and this page: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/deployment-connection-tab.html for the remote server configuration.

Here are screenshots of the configurations I have:

remote configuration

server configuration

I also have this host configured in my server.xml local tomcat configuration file:

<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true">

and on the remote server I have this Java configuration:

JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS}
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=1099
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=remote-dev.mycompany.corp"

But I get this error in Intellij when I try to run the configuration:

Error running 'remote server'
Unable to connect to the remote-dev.mycompany.corp:1099, reason: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: Catalina:type=Deployer,host=localhost

Would someone have any guidance on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

[EDIT] Here is the trace of the error in Intellij log:
