Inside the configuration element:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <configuration>
         <update>true</update>
         <url>http://www.mydomain.com:1234/mymanager</url>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
