Object Filter in AD connection for Specific account import

[Yaswanth]

Hi,

We are trying to import accounts from AD which are AXXXXX where XXXXX is 5 digit number. Could you please help us to configure a object filter for this?

Thanks,

Certainly! If you specifically want to filter for `sAMAccountName` with a 5-digit number after 'A', you can use the following LDAP filter:

(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=A?????))

In this filter, each question mark (?) represents a single character, and there are five of them after 'A'. This ensures that you are looking for accounts where the `sAMAccountName` starts with 'A' and is followed by exactly five digits.

Above filter is unliked/deleted all the accounts

(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=A*)) pulling all the accounts but A????? is not working

[rushikeshvartak]

(&(objectClass=user)(samAccountName=A\d{5}))

In this example:

• objectClass=user ensures that you're only looking at user objects.
• samAccountName=A\d{5} specifies that the samAccountName attribute should start with the letter 'A' and be followed by exactly five digits.

The Above solution is also not working..

Can suggest a proper filter for which is starting with A and then 5 digits

eg: A12345
