...Cause
There is a wrong usage of the ampersand sign (&) in the filter configuration of the atlassian-user.xml file.
Resolution
The ampersand signs in the atlassian-user.xml file should be escaped. If you have anything like this:
<userSearchFilter>(&(objectCategory=Person)(sAMAccountName=*))</userSearchFilter>Please replace that line with this:
<userSearchFilter>(&(objectCategory=Person)(sAMAccountName=*))</userSearchFilter>Note how the ampersand is escaped. For more information about LDAP filters, you can refer to this page.
