LDAP Filter challenge

our AD tree contains OU's for each office, which contains OU's for Users at that location. How can I create a filter referencing several user OU's
The "&" does not appear to be an option .
Also tried removing some entities   e.g (&(cn=*template)

Hi greg johnston,

you can escape the & character with &, so you can enter:
(&(objectclass=user)(samacccountname=*))

can you pls confirm? we will update our documentation to make this clear.

Hi greg johnston,

note that if you include your filter in a CDATA block, as here: https://github.com/infofabrik/reportser … cf#L23-L27
you can use your & characters normally. The same with <, >, etc.

Although the link above is for the next 4.5.0 version, this works with previous versions too. We tested with 4.4.0.
