Novell Data Synchronizer cannot add users in containers with ampersand in the name

When the container in which the user resides has a special character in the name, the search for the user for addition does not return any results.

1. Create a Container with the name "IS&T"
2. Create a user with the name "test user".
3. Make sure that the user is able to login to the GroupWise client.
4. Go to the DataSync Admin screen and try adding this user to the engine.
