Yes. It is possible. There are various ways, for example:

Runa GPD is based on Eclipse platform, so it is not possible to

Re: validate the login against this AD
To enable AD authentication configure:
runawfe-2.0RC3_root_folder\server\default\conf\login_module.properties
and
runawfe-2.0RC3_root_folder\server\default\conf\ad_password_login_module.properties
Do the following:
1. Uncomment the row ru.runa.af.authenticaion.ADPasswordLoginModule=SUFFICIENT in login_module.properties file.
2. Enter your AD/LDAP server name and domain into ru.runa.af.active.directory.server.url and
ru.runa.af.active.directory.damain.name properties in the ad_password_login_module.properties file
3. Restart jBoss server
Add AD users in Runa WFE manually and grant them login permission.

Re: pull in the executors from AD
Current version runawfe-2.0RC3 doesn’t provide any tool for this, but we have experience of doing this operation. If this is important, we could add import tool to future releases.

Andrei,
For my use it's ok to leave the AD user issue the way it is because I'm (hopefully) close to deployment. I think that it would be an inprovement for future versions of RunaWFE if there were a tool to import users from different sources.

Actually we have MS AD users importing "tool" but its not a part of RUNA WFE project.
In fact its not a tool but java class that imports users from MS AD.
The problem appears when you need not to import but synchronize users.
Our "tool" can do import.
If it would be helpful we can provide it to you.
Maybe we will add it to adminkit (a set of administration tools for runa wfe).

re:Can I have the tool to import users and groups from AD?
We didn't include this tool into AdminKit yet
(this would be done in future releas).
If you'd like we could provide a Class that done this by forum (it would be great if someone write an UI for it, because we have no time for this right now).
re:
is there a way to tell imported Executors from manually created ones?
You can't distinct imported actors from manually created (the import is done via same API they are created).
