I think I know what caused this problem now. However since I tried to start with a vanilla war instead (which applied all patches) before reverting to my maven built war I not 100% sure yet.

My guess is however that the reason lies in that i had both alfrescoNtlm and ldap-ad configured in my authentication-chain and the ldap.authentication flag set to false. (since I'm not using this in my development environment). The stacktrace indicates that the authenticationService was not correctly injected by spring and with some debugging I found out that it was the ldap authentication subsystem component that was throwing the error. For some reason Alfresco uses the subsystem in some way although its set to false.
