External groups and REST API

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

My APS instance is configured to get groups from an LDAP.

I am using the REST API to start process instances and assign tasks to groups.

I found out that I cannot use the group name in the posted json: I have to specify the "group id".

Because the process is started from a remote client, I will need to get the ID of the groups doing other calls.

Is there a better way to do it? Is there a way to use the group name?

I am using APS 1.8.1 and a java client.

Can you please share which JSON are you sending to which URL?

Please give more details so we can be more helpful.
