After installing Jenkins Role Strategy Plugin - all logins fail

I'm playing with a new install Jenkins 1.561, running as a Windows Service on a 64-bit Windows 7 Professional (SP1).

I'd installed without a problem, enabled security, configured it to use Jenkins' own user database, and created a few users.

Then I installed the Role Strategy Plugin. With it installed, I was unable to log in as any user. When I disabled the Role Strategy Plugin, my logins worked again.

Is this a known bug? Or is there something I am missing, to get the permissions to propagate correctly?

The documentation I was using (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Role+Strategy+Plugin) said to set "Security Realm" to "Delegate to servlet container". Is this incorrect?

No, you don't need to change "Security Realm", only change "Authorization".

The documentation was just showing the default options. You said you already had "Jenkins' own user database", keep that

Open $jenkins_home/config.xml

Under string 

Update the following tag with your username.
    <assignedSIDs>
      <sid>admin</sid>
    </assignedSIDs>
