Ok, I understand that all the authentication thing is container related. By the way I did manage to make Tomcat authenticate on my Active Directory. But, I think that, indeed, my problems come from the roles that are defined in the webapp console. Have you (or anyone else I guess) ever managed to use the jbpm-console with an Active Directory authentication? I so, could you please guide me to what I should do? Thanks again.
