Exception while invoking TaskListener: Could not query for users

Hi,

I’m using LDAP plugin (7.9.0) to authorize Camunda users in Active Directory.

Everything was fine until I’m tried to implement the task listener (on create event) for getting candidate users e-mails. When it trying to call:

List<User> userList = identityService.createUserQuery().memberOfGroup(groupID).list();

I’m getting an error:

There was an exception while invoking the TaskListener. Message: 'Exception while invoking TaskListener: Could not query for users'

What’s the cause of the error? As I mentioned above, LDAP plugin works fine. Authorization is OK. I can see groups and group members in Admin app.

Plugin properties:

      </plugin>

UPDATE.
Problem solved. Cause of the problem - mismatch of group names (candidate group vs LDAP group).
