Another problem: I have a simple process containing 3 User Tasks. This process has the processDefinitionId = "Ausgabe_beantragen:2:2288". The first user task is assigned to the initiator, so in the web modeler, assignee is set to ${initiator}. When I start a process instance with the post method
http://10.120.40.24:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/process-instances with the body

{
"processDefinitionId":"Ausgabe_beantragen:2:2288"
}

the request is successful. In addition, I´m sending the kermit credentials as basic authentication. But afterwoods, the kermit user has so task in the inbox, even though he is the initiator.

Did I miss something. Thank you for your help.
Best regards, Ben

It was my fault. If you send the credentials in the header, everything works fine. Therefore, there isn't a Bug.
