we are using active directory 1.41, build pipeline 1.4.5.
Whenever we select any list view / or build pipeline view, jenkins logs shows lot of exceptions for active directory plugin. This delays loading of views significantly. If we downgrade active directory plugin to 1.38, these exception goes away.
