Workflow could not be started

[ksmith13]

I'm using Alfresco Community 5.0d  integrated with Siteminder SSO and ldap synchronization.

Whenever I try to create any kind of work flow I get the error dialog: "Workflow could not be started", "Workflow could not be started".  There are no errors in the Alfresco or share logs.

If I log onto the Workflow Admin Console I see the definitions of the workflows that I tried to create.  If I use one of these definitions and then execute start, I get the following error:

org.activiti.engine.ActivitiException: Unknown property used in expression: ${bpm_assignee.properties.userName}

and later …

org.activiti.engine.impl.javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Cannot resolve identifier 'bpm_assignee'

I have no idea what's wrong.  I completely re-installed Alfresco, and still get the same error.

Hello,

the variable bpm_assignee inside the workflow / task does not seem to be set, that is why the error is a PropertyNotFoundException. If these are custom workflows (custom definitions), then please check any custom logic and form config you have added to ensure that bpm_assignee is being set where it needs to be set. If the workflow in question is a default workflow (provided by Alfresco) then try to reproduce it with a step-by-step account of what you have done so that you can file an issue in <a href="http://issues.alfresco.com">Alfresco JIRA</a>.

Hi Axel:

There has been no customization to this installation, no custom workflows, and these are the default workflows provided by Alfresco. 
The only thing I did is set-up Alfresco-system and share for SSO and LDAP for user registry synchronization.

I will file an issue with Alfresco JIRA.
Thanks for your response,
