Unable to start a process via REST API due to authentication issue in BPM Suite 6.2.0

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite (BPMS) 6.2.0

Issue

  • Unable to start a process via REST Remote API due to authentication issue in BPM Suite 6.2.0.
  • Basically it is not possible to use the REST API to start a work flow or to signal an event:
10:10:20,013 ERROR [org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy_jaxrs.i18n] (http-localhost.localdomain/127.0.0.1:8080-3) RESTEASY000100: Failed executing POST execute: org.jboss.resteasy.spi.UnauthorizedException

Resolution

Starting in BPM Suite 6.2, admin by default does not have access to rest call anymore. It is needed to add rest-all role in $EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/application-roles.properties for all users that will perform calls via Remote API as follows:

brmsuser=admin,rest-all
