Okay, that's where the fun begins (:

Is there any way to configure LDAP for webapp in a way it does not authenticate by AD, but uses Activiti database users to log in? I thought it is intended to work so - we provide the AD user in configuration in order to search AD for users and groups and then get the tasks, process instances and other things through the API (e.g. http://localhost:8080/activiti-rest/service/runtime/tasks?candidateUser=%ADusername% to get all the tasks for some user)

The Activiti engine simply will put the 'id' of the user as assignee for a task. So whether it's AD or not, that doesn't matter when fetching tasks for a given 'id'.

The default is indeed to use the identityService and go against the user table in the database. If you download the war from the website, that's exactly what happens.
