When I tried this I created a new Role definition for an application,
that definition was created in AzTaskObjectContainer as an instance of the
msDS-AzTask class.

I then assigned the role under Role Assignments for the application in the
AzMan MMC and the role was created in the AzRoleObjectContainer
as an instance of the msDS-AzRole class.

That seemed like reasonable behaviour and was the same for stores in both
AD (W2003) and ADAM.

Generally you want to create an application partition in ADAM
e.g. DC=Contoso,DC=com and then create a container
for your stores say, CN=AzStores and then in the AzMan MMC specify

msldap://ADAMServer:ADAMport/cn=mystore,cn=AzStores,dc=contoso,dc=com

i.e. specify a container below the parent and let AzMan create it.

If you are interested in using ADAM principals in AzMan you might want to
look
