Hy Shane, yes that is correct my authenticate method only work passing the parameters... If i let without it, i can´t recover the user password using the Identity.instance().getPassword(), always returns null. My other doubt is about the addRole method, this method doesn´t exist in the class org.jboss.seam.security.Identity Thanks...
