It's likely a configuration error. I recommend that you use seam-gen to generate a functioning authentication configuration, then compare what it generates to what you have. As a side note, you don't need the IAuthenticator interface for your POJO AuthenticatorAction component. Also, Identity implements its own logout() method which I recommend you use instead of writing your own. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4047407#...
